hand pie

Filled portable pastry

A hand pie is a small pastry with sweet or savory filling, sized for eating without utensils.

Unlike full-sized pies cut into slices, hand pies are individual portions—folded dough crimped around fruit, meat, or vegetables: apple hand pies, beef and potato hand pies.

The category includes empanadas, pasties, and turnovers.
