  1. This sounds super delicious, but i’m supposed to make it for a friend who just had a baby…and it’s changed to ’16 servings’ but only asks for 3 cups of pear. that seems bizarre. If I make a regular pie I would use 6 cups of apples (or pears) for a standard 9-inch pie to serve 6-8 people. Unless i’m making fig-newton sized ‘pies’ I just don’t see how this will stretch to 16 servings. Has anyone made it before and can comment? Also, I think the piecrust recipe is for 4 double-crust pies…soo this would require something more on the order of 24-30 cups of apples if I were making it as apple pie… i’m worried I won’t get it to make up right based on the ingredient list and hate to get halfway through and then discover it won’t work.

    1. Hi! This recipe is for hand pies so they are going to be a little more like pop tarts than full sized pies. The amount of filling per hand pie would be roughly 3 or 4 Tablespoons. If you have any other questions, do let us know!

      1. Thanks Robin! that’s super helpful. I have only ever seen hand pies that are like single-serving pies I guess more akin to a turnover in piecrust… or meat pies that are a meal. I will see how it goes!
