Ingredients

  • [double pie crust recipe]
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon cold water
  • coarse sanding sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add blueberries to a large pot. Add sugar, corn starch, lemon juice, and salt.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until blueberries have released their juices and cornstarch thickens and turns translucent. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  4. Roll out pie dough on a lightly floured surface until approximately 1/8-inch thick. Cut out large circles using a large round cutter.
  5. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of pie filling into the center of each circle of pie dough. Fold dough over and press with tines of a fork to seal. Transfer to baking sheets. Repeat with remaining pie dough and filling.
  6. Whisk egg and cold water in a small bowl. Brush each hand pie with egg wash using a pastry brush. Cut a slit in top of each hand pie to vent. Sprinkle each hand pie with coarse sanding sugar for decoration if using.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and cool before enjoying.
