Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust:
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
Blueberry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Others:
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract; stir gently to coat.
- Assemble the Hand Pies: Unroll pie crusts and cut into 4–5 inch circles. Place blueberry filling in the center of each circle. Fold dough over to form a half-moon and seal edges with a fork.
- Finish and Air Fry: Brush tops with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange pies in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
Notes
- For a glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons milk and drizzle over cooled pies.
- Frozen blueberries work well—just add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch to absorb moisture.
