Equipment

  • 1 cookie round cutter

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ⅛ cup sugar
  • 1½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until the blueberries are coated evenly. Set aside.
  • Roll out one sheet of refrigerated pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cookie cutter or a small bowl, cut out circles that are about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Repeat with the second sheet of pie crust.
  • You’ll need two circles of dough for each hand pie. 
  • Place a spoonful of the blueberry filling in the center of one pie crust circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut small slits in your second pie dough. These vents will steam to escape during baking.
    Dip your finger in a bowl of water and dampen the edges around the dough with the blueberry filling. Place the scored dough on top of the bottom piece. Press the edges together to seal the hand pie. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative effect.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the hand pies with egg wash, which will give them a nice golden color when baked.
  • Next, sprinkle coarse sanding sugar on top if you prefer.
  • Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. And bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes.
