Sweetpotato Hand Pies

Created by: Meredith Bernard: This Farm Wife for the North Carolina SweetPotato Commission
Servings: 10 pies
Calories: 254kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweetpotatoes
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • splash vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 Pillsbury pie crusts, softened

Instructions

  • Cook sweetpotatoes until tender. (Boil, bake or microwave).
  • Peel and mash.
  • Blend mashed sweetpotatoes with other ingredients in a bowl. You can use a mixer. I prefer a wooden spoon.
  • Soften two pillsbury pie crusts (or make homemade if that suits you!)
  • Cut out 3” circles with cookie or biscuit cutter (or a drinking glass. Use what you’ve got!) Roll outto 3 ½” (with a rolling pin…or glass.)
  • Place 2 tbsp filling in middle of each circle.
  • Moisten fingertips with water and rub edges to create a better seal, fold over filling and pat together with fingers, and crimp edges with a fork.

FRY OR BAKE

  • Fry in 350° vegetable oil or crisco ½” deep (no less temperature or they will be soggy) flipping when browned on bottom side (2-3 min.) and remove when brown on bottom again.
  • Bake in 425° degree oven 12-15 min or until light golden brown.

Serve warm alone or with vanilla ice cream.
