Best 3 Blueberry Mango Hand Pies Recipes

EASY BLUEBERRY HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.
• Lightly flour your work surface then unroll the pie crusts. Cut out as many circles as possible from each crust using a 3- to 4-inch round cookie cutter, rerolling the dough scraps if necessary.
• Arrange half of the circles on the baking sheets, spacing them at least 1 inch apart (these are the bottom crusts). Set aside the remaining circles (these are the top crusts).
• Stir together the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Divide the blueberry mixture among the bottom crusts, leaving a 1/4-inch border around each circle.
• Top each bottom crust with 1 of the top crusts and crimp the edges together with a fork. Cut small slits in each top crust to vent steam. (Alternatively, cut out shapes with a smaller cookie cutter from each top crust.)
• Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water then brush onto the top crusts. Sprinkle sanding sugar on top then bake the hand pies until golden brown and the blueberry juice is bubbling, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the hand pies from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets before serving. (See Cook's Note.)

BLUEBERRY-MANGO HAND PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. On well-floured surface, roll 1 pie crust to 15 x 10-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 5 rows by 2 rows. Repeat with second pie crust.
• In medium bowl, crush 1/2 cup of the blueberries with fork. Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon peel, lemon juice and ginger; stir to combine. Stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups blueberries.
• Cut mango slices in half; evenly arrange slices on 10 of the pastry rectangles. Top each with heaping tablespoon of blueberry mixture, leaving 1-inch border around edges. Place remaining 10 pastry rectangles on fruit-topped rectangles; press edges firmly with fork to seal. Cut slits in top crust. Place pies on cookie sheet. In small bowl, beat egg and whipping cream. Brush over pies.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool at least 1 hour before serving.
• In small bowl, mix powdered sugar with enough water to make thin glaze. Stir in almond extract. Drizzle glaze over pies.

BLUEBERRY HAND PIES

Steps:

• For the filling: Combine the blueberries and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and the berries have started to burst, a few minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and lemon juice in a small bowl until combined, then add to the blueberry mixture. Add the lemon zest and vanilla and continue to cook until glossy and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the pastry: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• To make the pies, unfold the thawed pastry and roll out to 10-inch squares if necessary. Cut each square in quarters, making four 5-inch squares from each. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of cooled filling onto one corner of each square. Brush around the squares with the egg wash. Fold the pasty over the filling on each to make a triangle, pressing lightly to remove any air pockets. Crimp the edges shut with a fork. Put the pies on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
• For the glaze: Mix the powdered sugar, vanilla and 1/3 cup cold water in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the pies and let set until dry.
