These cute strawberry rhubarb hand pies from Crepes of Wrath are a petite dessert.  Diced strawberries and rhubarb are combined with sugar, lemon, and spices to make the filling.  It is spooned into 1.5 inch pie dough rounds, cut using a cookie cutter.  It is important to cut a vent at the top of the dough before baking the hand pie to allow the steam to escape.  It can be something as simple as a few slits or decorative using a small cookie cutter.  You better make a double batch of these strawberry-rhubarb hand pies because they will be gobbled up instantly.
