Raspberry Chocolate Hand Pies

In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, and salt. 

Cube up butter and toss into the mix until the butter is incorporated. Mix until it reaches a breadcrumb consistency. 

Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, add egg and cold water, and mix together. If the dough isn't clumping together, add water sparingly. Once it is a good consistency, flour your countertop and form into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. 

While the dough cools, combine the jam and fresh raspberries together, gently mash them together, set aside. 

Once the dough has cooled remove it from the fridge and allow it to warm up, roughly 15 minutes on the counter. 

Flour the countertops and begin rolling out the dough, roughly 1/8 inch thick. Note: the egg will cause the dough to rise. 

Stamp or cut out heart shapes. You will need two pieces of dough per hand pie so cut accordingly. 

Add the fruit filling and chocolate chips to one piece of dough. Place the second piece on top and crimp them together with a fork. 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the oven warms, brush the tops of the pies with an egg wash. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pies are golden brown. 

Remove from oven, decorate with melted chocolate, add a sprinkle of salt, and enjoy!
