Voodoo Doll Halloween Hand Pies

If you’re looking for a Halloween treat that’s just the right mix of creepy and cute, these Voodoo Doll Hand Pies are it. Made with store-bought refrigerator pie crust and filled with sweet cherry pie filling, they come together easily but look like something straight out of a haunted kitchen.

Using a gingerbread man cookie cutter, you’ll create the doll shapes, then “stitch” them up with fork crimping around the edges. A few clever details, like X’s for the eyes and toothpicks poking through, make them look like edible voodoo dolls. The cherry filling peeks out just enough to give that eerie, spooky vibe that’s perfect for Halloween parties or trick-or-treat night.

Conjure Up Your Ingredients

You will find all of the complete measurements in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. 

• refrigerated pie crust – makes this recipe super easy. If you want to sub puff pastry, your handpies will be flakier. Want a from-scratch recipe? Use my recipe for homemade pie crust. 
• cherry pie filling – works great with its vibrant red color. Not a fan of cherry? Try apple, blueberry, raspberry, or even a spoonful of Nutella for a fun twist. Use this homemade filling recipe if you prefer. 
• egg wash – one egg with some water to make the egg wash. Milk will also work. 
• sugar – optional, dust the pie crusts for a bit of sparkle
• decorations – toothpicks or cocktail picks, black decorator icing, edible eyeballs
• equipment – you will need a large baking sheet, a fork, a rolling pin, and a large gingerbread cutter. I only picked on the gingerbread boys today, but any of the gingerbread people will work!

Cast the Spell: How to Make Voodoo Doll Hand Pies

I used the basic steps from my Heart-Shaped Hand Pies to get these Voodoo Doll Pies the perfect shade of golden brown. 

Summon the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Shape your dolls. Roll out the pie crust and cut out shapes using a gingerbread man cookie cutter. Re-roll scraps to make more.

Add the magic filling. Place half the cutouts on the baking sheet, spoon a little cherry pie filling in the center, brush the edges with egg wash, then top with another cutout.

Seal the spell. Press the edges with a fork to create “stitches.”

Bring them to life. Cut X’s for eyes and score little “stitch marks” if you like.

Shiny finish. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar, and bake your creations for about 15 minutes, or until golden and flaky.

Add the pins. Once cooled slightly, use the black icing to draw on stitches and eyes. Add candy eyeballs, and poke a few toothpicks into your pies to complete the voodoo doll look.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To make them crispy again, just pop them in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
