You’ll need 2 heaping tablespoons of leftover pie filling per hand pie, pre-made butter pastry, and a pizza cutter to cut the strips.

Cut a long rectangle, about 4 inches wide and the length of the pastry dough. Add 2-3 heaping tbsp pie filling to the bottom half. Fold over, pinch the dough shut, and poke a few holes through the top with a fork.

Are you dreaming of a backyard orchard or food forest but think that because you’re in zone 2 or 3 you’re restricted to crab apples? Absolutely not!  Here are 28 hardy fruits you can grow in zones 2-3.

Hardy Fruit Growing Tips

Most fruit trees require at least two of the same tree to pollinate and bear fruit.  If you live in an urban centre and your neighbour has an apple tree, that could count as your second apple tree, as long as it blooms around the same time.
