Instructions

Baked Blueberry Hand Pies - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Remove the pie crust from the fridge to thaw to room temperature.
** If using canned blueberry pie filling skip steps to make it
In a saucepan, add the blueberries and butter. Warm on medium heat until the blueberries release its juices. Add in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice and salt. Mix together until combined and the blueberries have broken down. Cook for about 8-10 minutes. To thicken this mixture, add the cornstarch. Stir together until combined and then remove from the heat.
Let sit for a couple minutes to cool and thicken. On a clean and floured surface, roll out the pie crust dough. Use a large circular cookie cutter (3.5 inch) to cut out circles in the pie dough. Repeat with the second dough slab in the package. Take any scraps and reroll into a dough ball and roll out to cut out more circles.
Place these circles on the baking sheet. Fill the center of each circle with a large tablespoon of blueberry filling. Use egg wash to baste around the edges of the dough.
Fold the circle of dough in half to create a half moon and crimp with a fork. Place 2-3 slits in the center of the hand pie. Repeat until all hand pies are made. Brush each pie with egg wash and can sprinkle with sanding sugar on top to make sweeter.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove the hand pies from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy as is or drizzle melted frosting over the top of each one.
