Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a bowl; set aside and let the strawberries macerate.
Step 3
Lay the 2 pie crusts on a large floured work surface. Roll the crusts out to about 12 inches, and using a knife or pizza cutter, cut 4 sides of the circles to form 2 squares. Cut each square into three equal rectangles so you have a total of 6 rectangles. Using a slotted spoon, place 2 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture on one half of the long ends of the rectangle, but don't spread all the way to the edge.
Step 4
Brush beaten egg around the sides of the strips, and then fold the dry end over the strawberry mixture end. Using a fork, gently press the edges together to seal really well, and cut a couple slits in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
Step 5
Brush the tops of the hand pies with the remaining egg and set hand pies onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the pies to a wire rack to cool and dust with confectioners' sugar, if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
