Quick and Delicious Blueberry Hand Pies

These hand pies feature a buttery crust filled with a luscious blueberry filling, cooked to perfection in the air fryer. The recipe takes about 25 minutes from start to finish and makes 4 individual hand pies.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry sheet
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook until the mixture is bubbly and slightly thickened, then let it cool.
Roll Out the Crust: Unroll the pie crust or puff pastry and cut it into circles (about 4-6 inches in diameter).
Fill the Pies: Place a tablespoon of the cooled blueberry filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Prep for Cooking: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the mixture over the tops of the hand pies for a golden finish.
Air Fry the Pies: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the hand pies in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Serve: Allow the pies to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
