I don’t know why I’ve never made hand pies until today. They rock my world and they’re perfectly portioned!
Of all the fruit pies, blueberry is my favorite. Hence, why I made them into hand pies.
Booya!
I’d love to know what your favorite fruit pie is!
An added bonus of hand pies is that they’re great for traveling! Hello, breakfast on the go.
Speaking of traveling…
I will be attending Mixed Conference this weekend with McCormick! McCormick is hosting a session highlighting ways to use flavor and color in baking – from easy ideas for everyday to more elaborate ideas for special occasions and I couldn’t be more excited!
I’ve never been to Mixed Conference, but I have a feeling I’m going to love it, especially since Paula (bell’alimento) and Susan (Doughmesstic) organized the entire thing! It’s head at the lodge that the classic movie, Dirty Dancing, was filmed in Virginia. So cool!
And since tomorrow is my birthday and Friday is my husband and my anniversary, he and Liam are coming to the conference with me! We’re making it a family celebration weekend with McCormick and Mixed!
Are you going?

Whole Wheat Blueberry Hand Pies
adapted from Vegan Yum Yum
Ingredients
- 8 ounces frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 whole wheat pie crust
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar
How-To
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, stir the frozen blueberries, sugar and corn starch together.
- Roll out the chilled pie crust on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8″ thick. Cut 3 1/4 inch circles out.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over half of the circles.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of blueberries into the center the egg washed circles.
- Gently and slightly stretch out the other circles. Using a fork, poke a few holes in the circle and place them on top of the blueberry topped circles. Press down the sides. Place them on the baking sheet.
- Brush the pies with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for about 14-18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm.
It’s true, I really don’t think to make hand pies often enough, which is kind of a shame because they are so cute!!
I’ve discovered your blog thanks to The Baker Chick and am totally in love with it! Plus, these little hand-pies are sooo cute and I bet they taste delicious, too!
xo, Elisa
These are adorable! And since they are made with whole wheat crust and filled with fruit I’m pretty sure I could eat a few;-) Have fun at the conference this weekend! And happy early birthday!
How many little pies does this recipe make? I love Blueberry pie the best, too!
It made 11 for me. 😀 Great question Chris! Happy Baking!
This might just be the first hand pie I’ll make.. mm!
Beautiful hand pies Caroline!! My favorite fruit pie is Strawberry Rhubarb- but Blueberry is a close second! I wish I got to see you and the fam at Mixed- have fun!
Your hand pies look beautiful and tasty. They remind me of the eccles my dad used to buy at the bakery. His were only dotted with raisins. He would love these with all the oozy blueberries. Happy birthday and anniversary.
I LOVE hand pies! And man these ones look amazing. I can just picture how crunchy and perfect the shells are, and then the inside… perfection! 🙂
These are so cute! I love individual desserts. And, I’m missing blueberries. I need to stock my freezer!
Have fun at Mixed! It sounds great. I wish I were going!
These hand pies came out looking perfect! I can’t wait to try these 🙂 I love blueberries
Blueberry is my favorite fruit pie too!! I wish I could reach through the screen and grab a few of these little guys, they look perfect! Happy early birthday and anniversary – have fun at Mixed 🙂
These are very beautiful hand pies!! I love how portable they are…they are also the first pies I tried while I was taking baby steps to the main course lol!
Have a great time at Mixed!! I am in love with hand pies after making my first ones this week too! So fun! Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary!
These hand pies look amazing. I’ve never made hand pies before. Must add this to my never ending list of things to bake!
Making these! just one question – how did you get 11 hand pies out of one 9 inch pie crust? I only got about 5 or 6.
I’m so glad you made them, Ashley! Hmm…my only guess is that our thicknesses weren’t the same and the size of the circle cutter was different? Other than that, I’m not sure why you ended up with so few. Hopefully, they were nice sized pie portions! 😉
