The holidays are known as the season of giving, but I have a feeling you’ll want to keep a batch of these Fig and Eggnog Hand Pies all to yourself. And, lucky for you, these pastries are personal-sized, so there’s no need to share anyways!
Featuring Heinen’s artisan fig spread and brown sugar neatly wrapped in flaky puff pastry and drizzled with a glaze of Smith’s Midwest-made eggnog and powdered sugar, these sweet treats are dripping with holiday flavor!
Let’s indulge!

- Brush the edges of the filled circles with the beaten egg yolk, then place an unfilled dough circle on top. Press down with a fork to seal the circles together. Repeat until all of the hand pies are sealed.
- Cut 2 tiny slits in the top of each hand pie so the steam can release while they bake.
