A quick and almost effortless treat that I like to make for my family is these hand pies. I can easily get these Blueberry Hand Pies from oven to belly in less than an hour. This recipe uses simple ingredients and is simple to make.
Making Blueberry Hand Pies
You can use a biscuit cutter to cut the circles but I used the lid of a quart mason jar. By using refrigerated pie crusts it makes the prep incredibly easy as you just roll it out and cut. It’s really that simple.
While you’re doing this part, mix the blueberry filling ingredients in a saucepan on very low heat and stir occasionally… the kitchen will start smelling so good by the time you’re done cutting out your pie crust!
TIP: Use parchment paper for quick and easy cleanup.
Once you have heated up the blueberry filling, place a spoonful of filling into the center of each pie crust. Also, be careful not to overfill because it will leak out of the sides once you start sealing the top crusts.
Create air vents on each of the top crusts and place them on the filling. Afterward, use a fork and seal around each pie making sure to seal well. This will help keep the filling from oozing.
Before baking, use a pastry brush to spread egg white on top of each pie. Give each pie an even wash, it’ll help the pies brown evenly on top. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the tops of the pies are golden.
After removing from the oven, mix together the glaze and drizzle on each of the Blueberry Hand Pies. Allow glaze to harden on pies and enjoy!
