Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface, and use a 4-5 inch round cutter to cut circles out of each crust. You should have about 12 circles in total.
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
To assemble, place a small dollop of the chocolate mixture (about 1 teaspoon) in the center of each pie crust circle. Top with 2-3 banana slices.
Fold the pie crust circle in half over the filling, creating a semi-circle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt to make an egg wash.
Brush each pie with the egg wash and place the pies on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. For an extra treat, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
