Description
Simple, no-bake hand pies filled with a creamy spinach and artichoke mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Fold in the dried spinach and chopped artichoke hearts until evenly combined.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter (about 4 inches in diameter) to cut out circles from the dough.
- Place a spoonful of the filling onto one half of each dough circle.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crusts are lightly golden brown.
- Let the hand pies cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For best results, squeeze as much moisture as possible from the thawed spinach.
- You can substitute store-bought pie crust dough for the homemade version to save time.
- These pies are best served chilled or at room temperature.
