Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package pre-made pie crusts (or you can make your own pie crust)
- nutella
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 1–2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the strawberry filling by washing, de-stemming, and dicing the strawberries. In a bowl, mix them with sugar and cornstarch until fully coated. Let it sit for a few minutes.
- Unroll the first pie crust on a clean surface or parchment paper. Cut out as many hearts as possible and place them on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Gather any leftover dough, re-roll, and cut more hearts as needed.
- Spread 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella in the center of each heart. If the Nutella is thick, microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften it before spreading.
- Spoon the strawberry filling onto each heart.
- Unroll the second pie crust and cut out the same number of hearts to serve as tops. Place each heart on top of the filled bottoms, aligning them as best as possible. Seal the edges with a fork.
- Poke small holes in the tops to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Whisk together the egg and water until light yellow and uniform. If needed, add a little extra water depending on egg size.
- Brush the egg wash lightly on each pie's top.
- Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Notes
You can use homemade pie crusts if preferred.
For easier spreading, warm up Nutella for a few seconds in the microwave before using.
Ensure to poke holes for steam venting to avoid any fillings bursting out.
