S’mores are great. S’mores you can eat on your couch? Even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These hand pies pack all the campfire classics\u2014chocolate, marshmallow, graham cracker crumbs\u2014into a flaky, golden crust. Baked, not fried. Messy in the best way. Eat them warm with a glass of milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Makes 8 hand pies.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
8 large marshmallows (or 1 cup mini marshmallows)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc cup graham cracker crumbs (plus more for topping)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for sparkle)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Preheat Oven<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Preheat to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Cut the Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Unroll pie crusts. Use a 4-inch round cutter (or a wide mug) to cut 8 circles from each crust (16 total).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Fill the Pies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Place 8 circles on the baking sheet. Sprinkle each with graham cracker crumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Top with chocolate chips and 1 large marshmallow (or mini marshmallows).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Seal and Crimp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Place another dough circle on top. Press edges with a fork to seal. Cut small slits on top for steam.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Egg Wash and Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Brush tops with beaten egg. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and extra graham crumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and marshmallow is oozing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Cool Slightly and Devour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Let cool 5 minutes (the filling is lava-hot). Serve warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Room temp:<\/strong> Keeps 2 days in an airtight container. Reheat in oven at 350\u00b0F for 5 minutes to re-crisp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freezer (unbaked):<\/strong> Freeze assembled pies on a tray, then bag. Bake from frozen at 375\u00b0F for 20-22 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freezer (baked):<\/strong> Freeze up to 2 months. Reheat at 350\u00b0F for 8-10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Microwave warning:<\/strong> Just don’t. Soggy crust = sad s’mores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
