Blackberry Hand Pies
Blackberry Hand Pies are a super simple dessert perfect for summer. These mini fruit pies are made with fresh blackberries inside flaky pie crust for the best hand-held treat.
We love picking wild blackberries on the ranch to make every kind of blackberry dessert including this Easy Blackberry Crisp and No Bake Blackberry Cheesecake.
This easy blackberry hand pies recipe can be made with fresh or frozen blackberries and it’s so simple to make with homemade or pre-made pie crusts.
Ingredients Needed
- Blackberries ~ Fresh or frozen.
- Granulated Sugar
- Lemon Juice
- Corn Starch
- Pie Crust ~ Homemade or store bought.
- Ground Cinnamon
Step By Step Directions
Add blackberries to a saucepan with sugar, lemon juice and corn starch.
Stir together and cook over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until pie filling comes to a low boil and is thickened. Remove from heat.
Roll out the pie crust and cut into 3 inch circles using a cookie cutter. We made 28 circles by pressing the scraps together and re-rolling the pie dough.
Place 14 of the circles onto parchment lined, rimmed baking sheets.
Use a small cookie cutter to cut the centers out of the remaining pie crusts. We used a small star cutter.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of blackberry pie filling onto each pie crust.
Top each with another pie crust circle.
Crimp the edges of each pie together with a fork.
Beat an egg with a tablespoon of water and brush over the pies.
Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pies.
Brush egg wash over both sides of star cut-outs and place on the side of each pie. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake 17-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove to a wire rack to cool.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
