Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. If your air fryer does not have a pre-heat function, that&#39;s ok - you may need to cook your pies for just a minute longer.

Set out pie crusts at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to preparing hand pies. Unroll one crust at a time onto a parchment lined or lightly floured surface.

Use a biscuit cutter or round cutter to cut out 4-inch round circles of pie crust. I used a fluted biscuit cutter for a decorative touch. Repeat with the other crust for a total of 12 pie crust circles.

Place a large tablespoon of blueberry pie filling in the very center of half of the pie crust pieces.

Cut small slits in the center of the remaining pie crust pieces to allow the pies to vent.

Brush over the crust with water to help it stick to its other half.

Place a vented pie crust piece of the crust with blueberry filling, stretching it gently to line up with the edges of the crust.

Press around the edges to seal the crusts and then curl the edges in to help them remain sealed.

Place 4 hand pies (or however many fit with adequate space between) into the basket of the air fryer. Spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake for 10 minutes or until the hand pies are flaky and golden brown.

While the pies are cooking, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth.

Place the cooked hand pies on a cooling rack and brush with the glaze while they are still warm.

Allow the glaze to set unti hand pies are dry to the touch.

Blueberry Hand Pies Recipe

recipe All Butter

blueberry pie filling

egg egg wash)

If using my all-butter homemade crust, roll the dough then chill for 15 minutes. If using store bought refrigerator crust, allow the crust to warm up on the counter until you can unroll it without it cracking.

Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut circles of dough, re-rolling the dough as needed to use it all. You’ll get about 16 rounds (to make 8 pies).

Lay half the circles on a cookie sheet that’s been covered with parchment or a silpat baking mat.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon blueberry pie filling onto the center of each round. Top with remaining rounds. Use a fork to press the edges to seal. Use a knife to cut at least one or two slits in the top to allow steam to escape while baking. Chill assembled pies at least 20 minutes (while oven is preheating).

Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush cold hand pies with a bit of beaten egg. Bake 20-30 minutes, or until the pies are a light golden on top. Cool before handling.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in a single layer for up to 2 months.

Strawberry and Blueberry Hand Pies

apple cider vinegar

Combine the milk with the apple cider vinegar...

Combine the milk with the apple cider vinegar in a liquid measuring cup. The vinegar will cause the milk to curdle, and we want this because it will give us a sour effect, like buttermilk, in the crust. (If you don't have ACV, white vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice will create the same effect. You can also use buttermilk.) Refrigerate until ready to use.

Drizzle half of the milk mixture over the dry ingredients. Using a plastic spatula, lightly mix the flour with the liquid. Repeat the process by drizzling a bit more in, repeating until the dough holds together when pressed against the side of the bowl. (You should still be able to see chunks of butter in it.) If necessary, add additional cold milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you find the desired consistency.

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven, and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. (Please note that my oven is crazy old, and if you have a new oven, you need to check on your hand pies when they reach the 20 minute mark to confirm you don't burn them.)

Fresh and lightly spiced blueberry hand pies are the perfect portable dessert for summer, Memorial Day, and Fourth of July parties.

unbleached all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)

Diamond Crystal kosher salt

(115 grams) cold unsalted butter

¼ cup (60 mL) ice water

blueberries (roughly 2 cups)

(50 grams) granulated sugar

(15 mL) fresh lemon juice

sparkling sugar (for sprinkling)

Prepare Pie Dough (At Least 2-3 Hours Before Baking): Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a large food processor. Pulse several times to mix thoroughly.

Add the cold cubed butter and pulse several times until the butter is thoroughly incorporated and the texture resembles that of a coarse meal. The butter pieces should be in varying sizes, some small and others slightly larger. This will result in the flakiest crust.

While pulsing, slowly add the ice water and continue to pulse until the dough just begins to clump together loosely. Transfer the dough to a clean counter top, shape together with your hands into a square disc, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for 1½ –to 2 hours (or overnight).

Prepare and Assemble Hand Pies: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with a rack in the center position. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, lemon zest, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg and 1 teaspoon water. Set aside.

Remove the chilled pie dough from the fridge and allow it to rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Unwrap and set on a lightly floured countertop. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12 x 15-inch (30 x 38 cm) rectangle. Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut the pie dough into six equal-sized rectangles. Don’t worry if the edges are not perfectly straight.

Brush the edges of each pie dough rectangle with egg wash. Distribute the blueberry filling into the left-hand center of each rectangle, and fold the opposite dough edge over, draping over the filling. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges of the hand pie. Trim and discard rough edges with a pastry cutter.

Set the hand pies onto the lined sheet pan. Brush the the tops of the pies evenly with egg wash and sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut two to three small slits into the top of the hand pie. This will allow steam to escape during baking.

Bake and Serve: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway into baking, or until the pies are golden brown. Do not worry if some of filling spills out during baking, this is to be expected.

Set on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature. Leftover hand pies can be wrapped tightly and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
