~ National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day ~

Mini Peanut Butter and Jelly Hand Pies

Ingredients:1 pie crust dough
1/4 cup peanut butter, smooth
1/4 cup jelly (your choice)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon egg whites

Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Roll out pie crust dough as thin as you can get it without tearing, or as thick as you want it. Using a round cookie cutter, cut circles out of your dough. Fill each circle with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of jelly. Now fold in half and pinch the edges -or- place another circle on top and make rounds. Brush each with egg whites and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, or until the edges start to slightly turn brown. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar if you wish. Happy PB&J Day! ~ Chef ~
