Cranberry Hand Pies

Thanksgiving Day (in all its glory) has come and gone.  And while the holiday has passed, there are certain flavors that are too scrumptious to limit to a special occasion--and deserve to linger.  The cranberry hand pies recipe from my November issue of Bon Appetit is one such recipe.  I knew I had to make them as soon as I saw them, and my instincts did not steer me wrong.

I decided to make these decadent, scrumptious pies as my dessert offering to my family Thanksgiving table.  And the perfectly sweet-tart cranberry-orange filling encased in the buttery, tender pie dough was everything I had hoped (and drooled for).  Umm-ummm goodness that equaled a hit with the family and a keeper for my dessert repertoire.  

Not a perfect presentation, but perfectly delicious
 
I'm especially excited to share this recipe here on D.M.R. Fine Foods after receiving requests for it from our readers and Facebook fans.   I hope you enjoy it as much as I did; it will surely grant you at least one more reason to be thankful. :)
