Blueberry Hand Pies

Goodness, do I adore all things pie. Cream pies, fruit pies, chocolate pie. I can make pie, eat pie, stare at pictures of pie until the sun goes down. Is there anything more lovely than a braided lattice top crust with pockets of oozing filling poking through? But, alas, time consuming. So a lot of time I opt for mini pies. They’re easy, take less time to bake, portable, and irresistible.

If you’re intimidated to make pie, these Blueberry Hand Pies are a great recipe to try, because they’re super easy!

Blueberry Hand Pie Recipe

There are two parts to these pies – the crust and the filling. Ingredients you’ll need:
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

• Blueberries: Fresh summer blueberries will give you the absolute best flavor, but if you’re in a pinch or desperately want to make these pies in winter (I get you!), frozen blueberries can be used. Make sure they are thawed and any excess liquid is drained.
• Coconut: Sweetened coconut flakes add another dimension of flavor and texture. If you hate coconut, simply omit.
• Jam: Jam is part of the filling, which adds moisture and sweetness. Blueberry or blackberry jam are both great in this recipe.
• Lemon juice: The acid in lemon juice balances the sweetness of the blueberries and also helps bring out the fruit’s natural flavor.
• Cornstarch: Used as a thickening agent for the filling.
• Salt: Just a little enhances all the other flavors.
• Egg and a splash of milk: These get combined to make a wash that is brushed on the crust, so it gets nice and golden during baking.
• Turbinado sugar: Sprinkled on the crust at the end, Turbinado sugar gives the baked pies a fantastic textural crunch and extra sweetness.
• Pie Crust: We highly recommend using our homemade pie crust (you’ll need 2), but you can also buy a 14 ounce box refrigerated pie crusts to make this recipe even easier.

Fruit Pie Recipe Tips

• Don’t overfill: Don’t overfill the pies or the seal can come undone.
• Crimp the crust edges together: Make sure to securely crimp the pie crust edges together, so the filling doesn’t leak.
• Cut vents: Make slits in the tops of each pie, so that steam from cooking can escape. Otherwise, the excess liquid turns the top crust soggy while causing the filling to get soupy.

Make Ahead / Storing Instructions

You can serve these while they’re warm or room temperature. Or store them until you’re ready to serve.

Store Baked and Cooled Hand Pies: store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Or frozen for up to 2 months (Thaw in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature before eating.)
Store Assembled and Unbaked Hand Pies: can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead or tightly wrapped and frozen for up to 2 months. Frozen hand pies can go directly into the oven (no need to thaw first), but they will require extra cooking time.
