Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package pre-made pie crusts (or you can make your own pie crust)
- nutella
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 1–2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the strawberry filling by washing, de-stemming, and dicing the strawberries. In a bowl, mix the strawberries with sugar and cornstarch until they are evenly coated. Set aside to macerate for a few minutes.
- Roll out the first pie crust on a clean surface or parchment paper. Cut out heart shapes and place them on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving space between them. Reroll any extra dough to cut additional hearts. Reserve the second pie crust for the tops.
- Spread 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella onto the center of each heart. For easier spreading, you may microwave the Nutella for about 15-20 seconds.
- Add a spoonful of the strawberry filling on top of the Nutella for each heart.
- Roll out the second pie crust and cut out matching hearts to top each pie. Seal the edges with a fork as you go.
- Make small vent holes in the top crusts to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Whisk together the egg and water until the mixture is light yellow and uniform. Adjust the amount of water as necessary based on egg size.
- Lightly coat the top of each pie with the egg wash using a pastry brush or your fingers.
- Bake the pies in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes or until they are a deep golden brown.
Notes
For best results, use fresh strawberries. Frozen strawberries can make the filling watery.
Feel free to experiment with other fillings like raspberries or blueberries!
Store leftover pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
