Ingredients

• 2 pieces Pre-made pie crusts
• 2 cups Frozen mixed berries
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoons Water
• 5 drops Red food coloring
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the frozen mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Roll out the pre-made pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a clean hand as a template, trace and cut out hand-shaped pieces from the dough with a sharp knife. Pair the hands in twos to make a top and bottom for each hand pie.

Step 4

Place one hand-shaped pie crust on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of the berry filling (about 1-2 tablespoons) into the center, leaving about 1/4-inch of space around the edges. Place another crust on top and press the edges together to seal, crimping with a fork for extra security.

Step 5

Repeat the process for all the hand pies. Use a sharp knife to cut small slits or details (such as knuckles or nails) into the tops of the pies for decoration.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with the tablespoon of water and add the red food coloring to create an 'edgy' glaze. Brush this mixture over the hand pies for a gory look.

Step 7

Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar if desired for a spooky effect.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature for a Halloween-themed frightful treat!
