## Chocolate Cherry Hand Pie Recipe
Simple store-bought ingredients come together into a bakery style pastry, ready in 45 minutes. The rich chocolate and cherry filling is absolutely incredible. Each pie is topped with a sugary crust, with a crackled texture.
* 2 pie crusts homemade or store bought
* 16 ounce bag frozen dark pitted sweet cherries
* 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chunks (or semi sweet chocolate chips)
* 3 tablespoons corn starch
* ½ cup sugar
* 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
* ¼ teaspoon kosher sea salt
* 1 teaspoon 
For these hand pies, I found this heart-shaped press at Williams Sonoma. You can always simply cut out a heart shape in parchment paper, and trace it around with a small paring knife or pastry wheel or use a large cookie cutter.
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough. Cut the pie dough into heart shapes using a large cookie cutter, paring knife, or heart hand pie press. Reroll the excess dough, and rollout using a rolling pin.
2. In a small bowl, mix the cherries, chocolate, cornstarch, sugar, lemon juice sea salt and vanilla extract. Give the cherry filling mix a good stir.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
4. Fill each hand pie with a small amount of filling about 5-6 cherries per pie, try to not overfill. Be careful to not overfill the press or pie hearts so they seal well.
5. Place your filling on the bottom crust, place top crust, and press in hand pie press or crimp the edges closed with a fork.
6. Sprinkle each pie with granulated sugar. This gives a nice crust, or brush with an egg wash glaze, or melted butter.
7. Bake 400 degrees for 20 minutes, on a parchment lined baking sheet until edges are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack at room temperature.
8. Optional, serve slightly warm and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
