I am so excited to be participating in another #SundaySupper! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to join in on the fun, but this weekend finally worked out.
This #SundaySupper is focused on showers – as in baby and bridal showers.
This time of year is lovely for both of those things. So I tried to think of something “springy.”
My bf is a big fan of strawberry rhubarb pie and suggests it often. Strawberry rhubarb screams spring to me, so I decided to go with it this time and make little hand pies.
I like the half moon shape of the hand pies, but if you want a fun shape go for it! Hearts would be cute.
Thank you to Isabel at Family Foodie for letting me jump in on this one and Liz Lange for helping plan the perfect shower! And don’t forget to check out the other #SundaySupper recipes from Renee at Magnolia Day and Sunithi at Sue’s Nutrition Buzz.
Strawberry Rhubarb Hand Pies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 recipe pie dough from this post
- 1/2 lb washed and quartered strawberries
- 1 cup sliced frozen organic rhubarb
- 2 tbsp water
- 6 tbsp turbinado sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
To Make the Pies:
- Make the pie dough and wrap in plastic wrap. Store in the fridge until you are ready to use, or at least 1 hour. After 1 hour preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a small bowl mix together the strawberries and 2 tbsp sugar. Set aside. In a pot over medium heat mix together the rhubarb, water, and 2 tbsp sugar, stir frequently. Cook until it forms a thick sauce like product. Remove from the heat and pour over the strawberries. Mix it all together until the strawberries are coated in the rhubarb sauce. Set aside.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out, on a lightly floured surface, to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 4 inch circle (or any other shape you want) and place a scoop of the strawberry mixture in the center – leaving enough room to fold it over. Fold over the dough and crimp the edges. Brush the top with the heavy cream and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
- Bake the pies for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet, serve warm.

These look really delicious! I love strawberries, especially combined with rhubarb. Never made hand pies, I should try these!
I love this recipe and can’t wait to try it! I am so glad you joined the #SundaySupper fun this week!
I love strawberries and rhubarb together. I can’t wait to try these hand pies. I will admit that I have never made a hand pie. These will be my first. I’ve made heaps of pies but they were “plate pies”. LOL
I adore strawberry rhubarb in pies. The fact that you put them together in a hand pie is nothing but genius!
YUM!
Yum! What a wonderful pie! One thing I never had is rhubarb, I have to try it! Your pie looks so tasty, which i could have one now!!
I found rhubarb at the farmers market the other day, guess I need to buy it now! These look fantastic:-) Hugs, Terra
Thanks Terra! I am a huge rhubarb fan. It is so unique and fun to bake with.
I am literally dying for one of these right now. They look delicious. I hope I don’t have to get married or have a baby to partake.
My husband likes everything apple when it comes to pie but strawberry rhubarb is my favorite.
These look amazing, Erin!!! I can’t wait till my rhubarb is ready to harvest!
I love hand pies! This is adorable. Looks perfect!
This is genius – I love strawberries and rhubarb, but never had a hand pie made with them. Delicious!
Hand pies!! LOVE! Since they can only fit in one person’s hand that means no sharing and a whole pie all to myself!
Strawberry and rhubarb are made for each other! I’d do a hand jive for one of those hand pies!
These look delicious! And even better that they are hand pies!
Lovely, fresh flavors, Erin! These are perfect for spring and I do love a good, juicy hand pie! Fantastic!!
Congrats on Top 9!!!! and Number 1 to boot! =) This does look incredible so theres no surprise as to why! I will be trying this one!, I’m bookmarking it now.

beautiful and delicious, I would love to have one of these!
And congrats on the top 9!!
Can’t go wrong with a hand pie! sounds amazing.
I can just look at your lovely pictures and taste these pies! Strawberry Rhubarb is my favorite fruit combo. I make a S-R cobbler this time of year, but these pies have me thinking I might need to try something else!
These look AMAZING and are so pretty! Baking a whole pie is overwhelming to me. The hand pie looks a bit more forgiving – I think I could handle it!
I love strawberry rhubarb pie, and a hand pie is even better. Great recipe!
Wow, what a great idea. I love rhubarb! Maybe I will be nice and make some for my Mom
OMG! Those look soooo good. I’m gonna pin it.
