Food process cranberries, orange, and walnuts until finely chopped but not liquidy.
Add sugar and pulse a few more times to combine.
Roll out pie crust to 1/8 inch thickness and cut into 3 inch circles.
Place a tablespoon of cranberry relish in the center of half the circles. You will have tons of leftover relish. Eat it on sandwiches, with turkey, or all on its own.
Top each circle with one from the second half of circles.
Seal the edges of the hand pies using the tines of a fork.
Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
Put a few small slits in the top circles with a butter knife.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the crusts are slightly browned.

Notes
To make fried pies, fry in a deep fryer at at 375 F for about five minutes on each side. If you have an air fryer, try making these in the air fryer at 350 F for 12-14 minutes. It's my favorite way to make hand pies!They are best served warm, but can be stored at room temperature for a few days or frozen in an airtight container for months. Reheat before serving!
