Ingredients
Scale
For the Mini Pies:
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces (approximately 3.4 oz each)
- 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (reserve half for topping)
- Water, for sealing edges
- 14.1 oz refrigerated pie dough
- 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
For Serving (Optional):
- Chocolate syrup, for dipping
- Marshmallow cream, for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Dough: Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from their packaging and allow them to come to room temperature as per package instructions. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut as many circles as possible from the dough. Place them close together on your work surface to maximize the number of pies.
- Make the S’mores Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped chocolate bars, mini marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir until evenly mixed. For extra gooeyness, you may add a little more chocolate.
- Fill and Seal the Mini Pies: Spoon about one tablespoon of the filling mixture onto the center of half of the pie dough circles. Moisten the edge of each filled circle with water using a finger. Top with the remaining dough circles and gently press to seal. Crimp the edges decoratively using a fork to ensure sealing.
- Butter and Top the Pies: Brush the tops of the sealed pies with melted salted butter. Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham crackers evenly on top for added texture and flavor.
- Air Fry the Mini S’mores Pies: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2 to 4 pies in the basket without overlapping. Air fry for about 10 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is melted. Transfer the pies to a wire rack to cool and repeat with remaining pies. For extra crunch, you can air fry for an additional minute, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Arrange the cooled mini s’mores hand pies on a serving platter. Serve alongside chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping. Enjoy while warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Allowing the pie dough to reach room temperature makes it easier to cut and seal.
- Be careful not to overfill the pies to prevent leaking during cooking.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these pies can be baked in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Use a small cookie cutter to maximize the number of pies and create bite-sized treats.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the melted butter before adding graham cracker crumbs.
