Creating Buttery S’Mores Hand Pies is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Pie Crusts: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. If necessary, gently roll to reduce thickness.
3. Cut Circles: Using a 4-5 inch round cookie cutter or a small bowl, cut out circles from the dough. You should get about 10 circles from both crusts combined.
4. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
5. Assemble Hand Pies: Place about a tablespoon of filling in the center of half of the cut-out circles. Leave space around the edges for sealing.
6. Top and Seal: Place a second dough circle on top of each filled one. Press the edges with your fingers to seal. You can crimp with a fork for extra security and decoration.
7. Prepare for Baking: Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash, and sprinkle sugar on top for an added crunch.
8. Bake: Arrange the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
10. Serve: These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

With these easy steps, you’ll create the most scrumptious Buttery S’Mores Hand Pies that everyone will love.
