Strawberry Rhubarb Hand Pies

Make the Filling 

1. Combine the strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the fruit has broken down and slightly reduced.  
2. Combine the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl, then add to the filling mixture, and boil for another minute or until thickened.  
3. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes, or until fully chilled. 

Make the Rough Puff Pie Dough 

1. Place the all-purpose flour, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor and blend until incorporated.  
2. Add the butter pieces, then pulse 10 times. 
3. Add the ice water and apple cider vinegar, then pulse 10 more times.  
4. Dump the shaggy mixture in a large bowl and clump the dough together with your hands to bring it together.  
5. Place the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, then pat into a rough 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds as if you were folding a letter. Rotate the dough clockwise, then repeat this process 2 more times. This helps create flakey layers.  
6. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or better overnight. 

Assemble the Hand Pies 

1. Roll dough out to ¼-inch thickness onto a well-floured work surface. Use a 5-inch round cookie cutter or bowl to cut out 10 large circles. You will need to re-roll the dough scraps.  
2. Place 1 ½ tablespoons of the chilled filling into the center of each circle.  
3. Use a pastry brush to brush the beaten egg around the edges of the circle.  
4. Fold one half of the circle over itself to create a moon shape. Seal the edges tightly with your fingers first, then secure with a fork. 
5. Refrigerate the hand pies for 1 hour. 

Cook the Hand Pies 

1. Insert the crisper plate into the air fryer basket. 
2. Select the Air Fry function, adjust the temperature to 400°F and time to 4 minutes, then tap Start/Pause to preheat. 
3. Brush the tops of the hand pies with egg wash, cut two 1-inch slits on the top, and sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar. 
4. Place 4 to 5 hand pies onto the preheated crisper plate. Keep the remaining hand pies in the refrigerator.  
5. Select the Bake function, adjust the temperature to 400°F and time to 5 minutes, then tap Start/Pause. 
6. Reset the cook settings immediately once the timer goes off: Select the Bake function, adjust the temperature to 330°F and time to 15 minutes, then tap Start/Pause. 
7. Remove the hand pies when golden brown, then repeat with the other hand pies. 
8. Allow hand pies to cool to room temperature. 
9. Whisk the icing ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if it’s too thick or more powdered sugar if it’s too runny. Drizzle icing over the hand pies, then serve.
