- 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Pie Dough

Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from their packaging and let them come to room temperature, following the package instructions.
Once ready, use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut as many circles as possible from the dough, placing the cuts close together to maximize the number of pies.

Step 2: Make the S’mores Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, miniature marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir everything together until evenly combined.

Step 3: Fill and Seal the Mini Pies

Scoop about one tablespoon of the marshmallow filling mixture onto the center of half of the dough circles.
Moisten your finger with a little water and run it around the outer edge of each filled dough circle.
Top each with another dough circle and press gently to seal.
Use a fork to press around the edges, creating a tight and decorative seal.

Step 4: Butter and Top the Pies

Brush the tops of each sealed mini pie with melted salted butter.
Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham cracker crumbs evenly over the buttered tops.

Step 5: 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 to prevent sticking.
Place 2-4 pies in the basket, depending on the size of your air fryer, making sure they don’t touch.
Air fry for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is melted.
Transfer the pies to a wire rack to cool and repeat with the remaining pies. For an extra crunch, air fry for an additional minute, but watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 6: Serve with Dipping Sauces

Arrange the cooled mini s’mores pies on a serving platter.
Serve with chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream on the side for dipping.

Servings and Timing

Servings: 12 mini pies
Prep Time: 15-20 minutes
Cook Time: 10-15 minutes
Total Time: 25-35 minutes

Variations

Different Pie Crust: If you’re out of pie crust, puff pastry works well too—just roll it a bit thinner. Homemade pie dough is also an option for an extra flaky result.
Chocolate Options: Use any chocolate you prefer, such as milk, dark, or even chocolate chips. Classic Hershey’s bars are a great choice for traditional s’mores flavor.
Marshmallows: Regular marshmallows work, but chop them into smaller pieces to make them easier to fit and melt evenly in the pies.
Graham Cracker Substitutes: If you don’t have graham crackers, try using crushed digestive biscuits, vanilla wafers, or cinnamon sugar cookies for a similar crunch and sweetness.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: These s’mores hand pies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The crust might lose some of its crispness, but they’ll still taste delicious!
Freezing: You can freeze the pies either before or after baking. For unbaked pies, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Baked pies can be wrapped individually and frozen for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat, warm your hand pies in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes if refrigerated, or 10-12 minutes if frozen. You can also use a toaster oven on low heat to bring back their crispy texture.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the pies ahead of time and freeze them before baking. When you’re ready to enjoy them, just bake directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Can I make these s’mores hand pies without an air fryer?

Yes, you can bake these in a regular oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the pies on a baking sheet, and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Can I use puff pastry instead of pie dough?

Yes, puff pastry works great in place of pie dough. Just roll it out thinner before cutting it into circles for the hand pies.

How do I avoid the pies from bursting open during baking?

Be sure not to overstuff the pies with filling, as this can cause them to burst open. Stick to about one tablespoon of filling per pie, and leave enough space around the edges for sealing.

Can I use store-bought chocolate sauce instead of making my own?

Absolutely! Store-bought chocolate sauce works perfectly as a dip for these pies. You can also use Nutella or caramel sauce for a fun twist.

S’mores Hand Pies bring the best of campfire s’mores into a convenient, mess-free, and delicious dessert that everyone can enjoy. With flaky pie crust, gooey marshmallow, rich chocolate, and a touch of cinnamon sugar, these mini pies are perfect for any occasion.
