What You’ll Need

This recipe is really so incredibly simple. The blueberry pie filling isn’t even cooked before it goes in the oven so we’re saving tons of time. Let’s take a quick look at what you’ll need and, as always, you can find the full printable recipe card at the end of this post.

• pie crusts – you’ll need either homemade pie crusts (a double crust) or save time with and grab a package of refrigerated pie crusts.
• blueberries – the star of the show! If you aren’t a blueberry fan, try chopped strawberries, cherries, or another favorite fruit.
• granulated sugar – to sweeten the pie filling.
• lemon juice – for flavor, brightness and to bring out the flavors in the other ingredients.
• lemon zest – I love lemon and blueberry together (No Bake Blueberry Lemon Cream Pie, Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins, Lemon Blueberry Scones) and these hand pies are no exception.
• cornstarch – this will slightly thicken our blueberry filling.
• egg – this is for the egg wash on top of the pies to give them a little sheen and help them brown.
• milk – also for the egg wash. Works to thin out the egg. Can use water instead.
• coarse sugar – if you have it, this really gives these hand pies a bakery finish. Turbinado or sanding sugar also work.

How To Make Blueberry Hand Pies

Let’s take a quick look at how easy these individual pies are to make:

1. Preheat oven and line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Roll out crusts and use a 2 inch round cutter to cut out as many circles as you can.
3. Stir together the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and cornstarch.
4. Spoon the filling onto the center of half of the pie circles leaving a ¼” border around the edge of each circle.
5. Whisk together the egg and milk in small bowl until well combined.
6. Brush the edges with the egg wash and then place another circle on top. Use a fork to crimp the edges of all the pies with a fork. Cut a few slits in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
7. Brush the top of the pies with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
8. Place the pies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Leftover pies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
