I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love dessert! I wouldn’t consider myself an emotional eater but will admit that I almost always feel comforted when I’m digging into a delicious dessert. Even better? When I can hold said dessert in my little hand and don’t need a fork or plate to enjoy. That’s why I love hand pies! They are handheld desserts that are great for parties, eating on the go, or when you really don’t feel like sharing that piece of pie.
