1. Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your pies bake evenly and get that lovely golden color.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, fruit filling, and cinnamon. Stir well to make sure everything is combined. If you’re using fresh fruit, you might want to chop it into small pieces to ensure a nice texture in the pies.

3. Roll Out the Pie Crusts

On a lightly floured surface, unroll your pie crusts. Using a rolling pin, gently roll them out to smooth out any creases. You want them to be about 1/8-inch thick.

4. Cut Out Shapes

Using a round cookie cutter (or a glass), cut out circles from the pie crusts. You should be able to get about 12 circles from two crusts. Place half of the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Fill the Pies

Spoon a tablespoon of the honey-fruit mixture onto the center of each circle on the baking sheet. Be careful not to overfill; otherwise, the pies might burst open during baking.

6. Top with Second Crust

Place the remaining circles over the filled ones, pressing down the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

7. Cut Slits for Venting

To give your mummies their “wrappings,” use a sharp knife to cut a few thin slits on the top of each pie. This also helps steam escape while they bake.

8. Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of the pies. This will give them that beautiful golden color as they bake.

9. Bake

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.

10. Add the Mummy Eyes

Once the pies are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, place candy eyes on top of each pie. You can use a bit of honey to help them stick if needed.

11. Serve and Enjoy!

Allow the hand pies to cool a little more before serving. They’re perfect warm or at room temperature, and they’ll be the highlight of your Halloween spread.
