Servings 12 hand pies

Ingredients

  • 1 14 ounce package of refridgerated pie crust
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sanding sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat line, set aside.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and unroll the crusts.
  • Lightly flour a 2-inch cookie cooker and cut out as many circles as you can, 6-8 is the average amount you should be able to cut.
  • In a small bowl stir together blueberries, granulates sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch.
  • Fill the center of half of the pie dough circles, making sure to leave at least a 1/4-inch border around the edges.
  • In a small bowl whisk together egg and milk.
  • Brush the edges of the filled circles with the egg/milk mixture and place the second dough round on top.
  • Crimp the edges of the pies with a fork and cut a few slits in the middle of each pie, this will help to vent steam while the hand pies bake.
  • Brush the top of the hand pies with the egg/milk mixture.
  • Sprinkle the tops of each hand pie with sanding sugar.
  • Place the pies onto the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes.
  • Enjoy warm or room temperature.
