Blueberry Hand Pies
(slightly adapted from Epicurious)
Makes 8-10 pies
1 package prepared pie dough or puff pastry, 2 rolls
all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 pint blueberries
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, whisked with 1 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon raw sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out each dough on a floured surface. Cut into rectangles or circles. (I cut mine into circles using a bowl. Each measured about 5-6 inches.)
Toss blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl. Brush edges of dough with water/egg mixture; mound some blueberries in the dough.
Fold dough over and press edges to seal with a fork. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with the egg wash. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Cut slits in the top.
Bake hand pies, rotating sheet halfway through, until juices are bubbling and pastry is golden brown, approximately 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
