Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or two cookie sheets if you want to be able to bake these all at the same time.
- Next mix the sugar and corn starch together in a small bowl until it’s completely smooth (no lumps from the corn starch).
- Add the blueberries, sugar mixture, and lemon juice to a medium size saucepan and cook on medium heat until the mixture is bubbling and thickened.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and stir into the fruit filling. Heat until the filling is thickened and the blueberries are almost completely cooked down.
- Roll out one of the pie crusts then place a 2 inch Christmas tree cookie cutter (or any other shape) on top of the pie crust and cut out Christmas trees. Place cut Christmas trees on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the second pie crust but this time leave the cut out Christmas trees just on the counter (or another piece of parchment paper) until you’re ready to add them on top of the others.
- Once you’ve run out of pie crust to cut, take the leftovers (from removing it around the other Christmas trees), roll it out again, and continue the process until you’ve used all of the pie crust.
- Add about 2 teaspoons of the blueberry pie filling to the middle of each tree on the baking sheet.
- Whisk an egg together in a small bowl to create an egg wash.
- Lightly brush the edges of the pie crusts on the cookie sheet with the egg wash then gently place a second tree on top of the one on the baking sheet. Use a fork to gently press together the edges on the two trees to seal your hand pies.
- Poke a hole into the top of each tree to let the steam go through. Then lightly brush the remaining egg wash onto the top of each tree.
- Sprinkle each tree with a light sprinkling of sugar, coarse sugar if you have it.
- Bake the trees for 5 minutes or until the tops are a golden brown. Take the tree pies out of the oven and place them on a cooling rack to let them cool.
- Once the trees are cooled, drizzle the icing over each one.
Icing
- Whisk together powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over each of the blueberry hand pies and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store any leftover fruit hand pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They’ll likely be eaten before then but they are best within three days.
- Make these without egg wash by using a tiny bit of water to help seal the blueberry hand pies. Egg wash is better but if you’re in a pinch or would prefer to not use egg, water works as well. I do not recommend brushing the tops with water.
- Freeze these by wrapping each hand pie in a piece of plastic wrap then placing all of the wrapped hand pies in a freezer safe bag and freezing for up to three months.
- Reheat the hand pies by placing the blueberry hand pies on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place in a cold oven. Turn the oven on to 350 degrees and allow the hand pies to heat up with the oven. Once it reaches 350, they’ll be perfectly warmed without further browning the outside of the pies.
