Heart Shaped Hand Pies – Oh My.

January 30, 2017 by Cynthia Leave a Comment

Pie with sprinkles? To be or not to be? That is the question. Answer: Sure. Why not?

Funny thing happened this weekend. My washing machine broke and I found myself with extra time on my hands. Until now, I had no appreciation how much laundry I do on the weekends.

So I decided to make heart shaped hand pies as an experiment. Turned out pretty well. In life as in hand pies, sprinkles are optional, but I thought they added a festive touch.

No big secrets here. I used a pie crust recipe from Martha Stewart, canned cherry pie filling, almond flavored glaze and of course, sprinkles.

If I had to pinpoint any upgrade, it would be the almond flavored glaze. It added the right amount of sweetness to make this palm sized treat smile worthy.

I hope you find some inspiration.

Always,

Cindy

At the Corner of White and Pine.

Home is where the heart is.

White. Pine. Or Chippy White and Patina Pine. Both of those finishes are the finishes that I am transitioning the antiques in my cottage to. Yesterday while strolling through downtown McKinney on a beautiful crisp winter day, I found this little market item: a little white heart. Painted white it is made of stone or something and has some weight to it. A heavy heart, you could say.

So I brought it home and found a special place for it. So it goes that home is where the Heart is.

I hope you find some inspiration.

Always,

Cindy
