What’s a Hand Pie?

A hand pie is a single-serving, closed pastry you can eat with your hands. Hand pies came from 19th-century England, created as a filling lunch for hungry miners. In the U.S., the most well-known hand pie is the McDonald’s apple pie.

Tips

Persimmon varieties: We prefer fuyu persimmons in this fig crisp. They have a firmer texture for chopping (like an apple) and are less astringent than hachiya persimmons.

How to ripen persimmons: If your persimmons aren’t quite ripe, place them in a paper bag with a banana. Close the top of the bag and let it stand on the counter 1 to 4 days or until desired ripeness.

Gluten-free version: To make this gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oat flour and oats.

Tips

To section an orange into supremes: Slice off the top and bottom of the orange. Place the orange on a cutting board and slice off the peel and white pith from top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit. Hold orange over a bowl to catch the supremes and the juice, and remove segments by cutting down one side of a membrane and up the other.

Gluten-free version: To make this gluten-free, use a gluten-free couscous or skip it altogether in favor of quinoa, brown rice, or another gluten-free grain. Choose a prepared horseradish that’s gluten-free.

Tips

Presentation points: If you want a “carved” presentation like you see in the photo, carefully remove the cooked whole cauliflower from the Dutch oven before broiling in Step 3 and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Cut into wedges and broil as directed.

A note on braising and broiling: A cross between baking and steaming, braising involves cooking food slowly in a modest amount of liquid in a covered dish. To broil, you position food directly under the oven’s heating element to quickly brown it.
