Description

Blueberry Hand Pies are delightful single-serve desserts made with a flaky all-butter pie crust filled with sweet blueberry pie filling. Perfectly portable and easy to make from scratch, these hand pies are baked to golden perfection and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 recipe All Butter Pie Crust or use a refrigerated crust

Filling

  • ½ cup blueberry pie filling

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: If using homemade all-butter pie crust, roll out the dough and chill it for 15 minutes. If using store-bought refrigerated crust, let it warm up at room temperature until you can unroll it without cracking.
  2. Cut Dough Circles: Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough, re-rolling scraps as needed. You should get about 16 circles to make 8 pies.
  3. Assemble Hand Pies: Place half of the dough circles on a parchment- or Silpat-lined baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling onto the center of each circle. Top with the remaining dough circles. Press edges firmly with a fork to seal, then cut one or two small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  4. Chill Pies: Chill the assembled pies for at least 20 minutes while preheating the oven. This helps maintain the shape and texture during baking.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Brush each hand pie with the beaten egg wash to achieve a golden finish. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the pies are light golden brown on top.
  6. Cool and Store: Allow the pies to cool before handling. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in a single layer for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • To double the recipe, simply double the pie crust ingredients using about 3 tablespoons of water to make the dough or use two packages of refrigerated crusts.
  • Ensure slits are cut on top to let steam escape and prevent soggy crust.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
