Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 pies
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the refrigerated pie crusts and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to become more pliable.
- Unroll the pie crusts and use a 4-inch round cookie cutter or small plate to cut out circular shapes.
- In a small bowl, mix the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs together to create the filling.
- Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of each pie crust circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Beat the egg in a separate small bowl and use a pastry brush to lightly brush the edges of the pie crust with egg wash.
- Carefully fold the pie crust over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together with a fork to seal completely.
- Transfer the pocket pies to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with remaining egg wash.
- Use a sharp knife to cut 2-3 small venting slits on the top of each pie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Make sure your pie crusts are at room temperature to prevent cracking and make them easier to work with.
- Don't overfill the pies - leaving a small border helps create a better seal and prevents filling from leaking.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges firmly, ensuring your delicious filling stays inside during baking.
- For extra golden and shiny crusts, brush the egg wash generously before baking.
- Let the pies cool slightly before serving to prevent burning your mouth and allow the filling to set.
- For a fun variation, try using different chocolate types like dark chocolate or even adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the filling.
- These pocket pies can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking - perfect for meal prep or entertaining!
