Ingredients

  1. One 14.1-ounce box of 2 pie crusts
  2. All-purpose flour, for dusting
  3. 3 ounces cream cheese (a little under half a block), at room temperature
  4. 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  5. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  6. One 2-ounce package sliced almonds
  7. 2 teaspoons turbinado sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Roll out one pie crust on a work surface lightly dusted with flour and cut into 4 equal wedges with a pizza cutter or knife. Spread 2 teaspoons of cream cheese over each piece, leaving about 1/2 inch bare around the edges. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chocolate chips over the cream cheese and gently fold the crust over, creating a triangular hand pie. Using a fork, press the edges to seal, and place the pies on a large ungreased baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining crust.
  3. Brush the butter over each hand pie and lightly press the sliced almonds into the tops of the hand pies in a single layer. Brush the almonds with a little bit of melted butter and lightly sprinkle the turbinado sugar over each hand pie.
  4. Bake until the tops are golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let rest a couple of minutes and serve warm or at room temperature

Great! We have nut allergies, so I made a super easy, quick, and yummy streusel topping. And I made my own pie crust. Better fresh out of the oven or warmed up. Nevertheless, amazing! Must try.

These were very good and very easy! I used slivered almonds because I didn’t have sliced almonds, worked great! Will make again!
