Blueberry Hand Pies

These little pies give you bakery-style fruit filling without a full pie project. Let the filling cool before assembling so the crust stays easier to handle and does not get soggy.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust sheet
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, for glaze

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, stir together the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 mins., until the berries soften and the filling thickens. Let it cool for 10 mins.
  2. Unroll the pie crust and cut it into 8 equal rectangles or circles.
  3. Spoon a small amount of blueberry filling onto half of each piece, leaving a clean edge. Do not overfill, no matter how bossy the blueberries get.
  4. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal.
  5. Cut a tiny slit in the top of each hand pie so steam can escape.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Lightly spray the basket or use air fryer parchment.
  7. Brush the tops with beaten egg and place the pies in the basket with space between them. Work in batches if needed.
  8. Air fry for 7 to 9 mins., until golden brown and crisp.; whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla into a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the warm pies and let set for 3 mins. before serving.

Cool the filling first. | Seal the edges well with a fork. | Use parchment if your air fryer basket has wide gaps.
