Making Nutella hand pies is a fun and easy process. Follow these simple steps to create your own delightful treats:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Roll Out Dough: If using homemade dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. If using store-bought, unroll and lay out the pie crusts as needed.

3. Cut Circles: Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough, approximately 4-5 inches in diameter.

4. Fill Center: Place about a tablespoon of Nutella in the center of each circle. Avoid overfilling to prevent spills during baking.

5. Moisten Edges: Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of each dough circle. This will help seal the pies.

6. Fold Over: Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly with your fingers. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra decorative touch.

7. Egg Wash: Brush the top of each hand pie with the beaten egg. This will provide a beautiful golden color when baked.

8. Sprinkle Sugar: Lightly sprinkle granulated sugar over the top of each pie for added sweetness and crunch.

9. Bake: Place the hand pies on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes.

These steps will guide you in creating spectacular Nutella hand pies effortlessly.
