Strawberry & Nutella Mini Pies

Ingredients

• 1 package pre-made pie crusts
• Nutella
• 1 cup strawberries, diced
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Place the diced strawberries in a medium bowl. Mix in the sugar and cornstarch and set aside.
3. Unroll the first pie crust on a clean counter. Cut out as many hearts as you can and place them on a cookie sheet.
4. Smear the center of each heart with 1 teaspoon of Nutella. I recommend microwaving the Nutella so it is easier to spread.
5. Add a spoonful of strawberry filling to each heart.
6. Unroll the second pie crust. Cut the same number of hearts as you did the first time.
7. Place the heart on top of each pie and line it up as best as you can.
8. With a fork seal the edges of each heart.
9. Take a toothpick and poke small holes in the top to allow venting during baking. 
10. Whisk egg and water until the mixture is a light yellow.
11. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the top of each pie.
12. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden.

This is such a cute and festive dessert to make for Valentine's Day.
