You’ll need:

• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 cup of cold butter, cubed
• ⅓ cup of ice water

For The Filling:

• 1½ cups of blueberries
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 egg for egg wash

For The Glaze:

• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• ¼ cup of lemon juice

Substitutions And Additions

FRUIT FILLING: There are so many great options for filling. Try raspberry, strawberry, apple, peach, or cherry fruit filling for more sweet pies.

SAVORY FILLING: For savory options, you could make spiced beef, chicken, or even samosa filling.

PIE CRUST: If you prefer, you could make these with store-bought refrigerated pie crust dough.

How To Make This Blueberry Hand Pies Recipe

The first step in making these adorable little pies is to make the pastry from scratch. We will walk you through the steps here. Once it is made, you can fill each one with pie filling before baking.

STEP ONE: Add the flour, salt, and sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Cut the cold butter into little cubes and add to the flour mixture. Place the lid onto the food processor and pulse until the butter is the size of peas.

STEP TWO: Fill a glass with water and add ice, then measure out ⅓ cup of cold water.

STEP THREE: Slowly add the cold water to the food processor a tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between each addition.

Once it’s all been added, pulse until the dough comes together. If it’s still dry, pulse a little longer until the dough forms. Divide the dough in half.

STEP FOUR: Place a piece of plastic wrap onto a clean surface and place half the dough onto the wrap. As you wrap the dough, form it into a disc. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

STEP FIVE: Right before you pull the dough out of the refrigerator, prepare the blueberry pie filling. In a medium bowl, toss the blueberries with sugar, corn starch, and lemon juice. Set blueberry mixture aside.

STEP SIX: Make an egg wash by beating one egg in a small bowl, then set aside.

STEP SEVEN: Remove one disc of dough from the refrigerator and remove it from the plastic wrap. 

STEP EIGHT: Sprinkle a few tablespoons of flour onto a clean surface and then roll the dough out with a rolling pin on the floured work surface until it’s ¼ inch thick. 

STEP NINE: Using a 4-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles, and then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 

STEP TEN: Once you create your first set of circles, roll the leftover dough back out so you can cut out more pieces. 

STEP ELEVEN: Brush the edges of each circle with egg wash.

STEP TWELVE: Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of one piece of dough. Place the second piece on top. Use the tines of a fork to seal edges and brush the top of the pies with egg wash.

STEP THIRTEEN: Bake at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.

STEP FOURTEEN: To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice together. Drizzle over the top of each hand pie. Let cool before serving.

How To Serve

These fruit hand pies are delicious on their own but you could serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side as well.

You could also serve them with our iced tea, raspberry iced tea, sweet peach iced tea, or our southern strawberry sweet tea on the side to wash them down.

Notes

• It’s really important that the dough stays cold as you’re working, so if you have to pause while making this treat, make sure to keep your dough covered in plastic wrap inside the fridge.
• I would recommend rolling out the second disc of dough right before they’re ready to go into the oven. 
• If you have any lag time, don’t leave your dough sitting out. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and pop them back in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
