Blueberry Hand Pies

Making blueberry hand pies is fun and easy to do, and using a refrigerator pie crust dough cuts down on the work. These little blueberry pies are great for portioning your desserts too! Try my cherry hand pies as well, especially if you were a fan of those Hostess goodies back in the day.

4 Ingredient Blueberry Hand Pies Recipe

Recipes with less than 5 ingredients can be hard to come by. Blueberry pie is not something that’s usually quick, especially if you like to make your dough from scratch. Some occasions just don’t allow for that extra time, and that’s where shortcuts come in.

Our hand pies were a big hit, and no one would have guessed there were less than 5 ingredients. It’s a great recipe to keep on hand. They are delicious for an indulgent breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients you need for Blueberry Hand Pies

• 3/4 cup blueberry pie filling
• Refrigerated pie crust (box should contain 2 crusts)
• 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk

Helpful kitchen tools:

• insulated baking sheet
• parchment paper
• cooling rack
• waxed paper
• 3 3/4 inch drinking glass (or a biscuit cutter)
• Pastry brush

How to Make Blueberry Hand Pies

Start by preheating your oven to 375 F and line an insulated baking sheet with parchment paper.

1. Use drinking glass or biscuit cutter placed over pie dough sheet to cut out circles with a paring knife.
2. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of blueberry pie filling to the center of a circle.
3. Place a second crust circle over the first and crimp the edges together with a fork.
4. Cut two small slits in the top of the pie. Repeat these steps for all remaining pies, using a separate cooking sheet if needed.

1. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until light golden brown.
2. Remove from oven and allow to cool for five minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
3. Combine powdered sugar with half of the milk. Continue mixing and dribbling in small amounts of milk until mixture is a thick drizzling consistency.
4. Place waxed paper under cooling rack and brush glaze over the pies. Allow glaze to set and serve.

Baking Tips

• If you have a biscuit cutter it may vary in size, get as close to 3 3/4 as you can to get the same number of pies as the recipe states. We got 18 circles for 9 hand pies. We got 7 circles from each crust, then rolled out the scraps to get the rest.
• If you prefer, you can skip the glaze and have 2-ingredient hand pies!
