Description

These Air Fryer Blueberry Hand Pies are a quick and delicious treat featuring flaky pie crust filled with sweet blueberry pie filling. Perfectly golden and crisp thanks to the air fryer, these individual hand pies make a convenient dessert or snack with minimal mess and prep time.

Ingredients

Pie Dough

  • 2 refrigerator pie crusts

Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups blueberry pie filling

Egg Wash & Topping

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Thaw: If the pie crusts are frozen, thaw them according to the package directions to ensure they are pliable for rolling and cutting.
  2. Cut out: Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a cookie cutter, cut out six 5-inch circles total (three from each crust). Discard any scraps.
  3. Add filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of blueberry pie filling onto the center of each dough circle, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges free of filling.
  4. Run around edges: Dip your fingertip into water and lightly moisten the edge border of each dough circle. This will help seal the pies together.
  5. Crimp together: Fold each dough circle over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Gently pinch the edges to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges securely.
  6. Brush with egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of each hand pie to promote browning.
  7. Sprinkle sugar & vent: Sprinkle the tops with white granulated sugar for a touch of sweetness and texture. Make 3 small slits in the top crust of each pie to allow steam to escape during cooking.
  8. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) to ensure even cooking and crispy crust.
  9. Arrange pies: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray. Place the hand pies in a single layer without touching, working in batches if necessary.
  10. Air fry: Cook the pies in the air fryer for 8 to 9 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the crust is cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Thaw pie crusts fully before working with to prevent cracking.
  • Use a small spatula or spoon to evenly distribute the blueberry filling without overfilling to avoid leaks.
  • Make sure to vent the pies with small cuts to prevent bursting while air frying.
  • If cooking in batches, reheat the air fryer before the next batch for consistent results.
  • Allow hand pies to cool slightly before eating as filling will be hot.
  • Can easily be made ahead and reheated in the air fryer or oven.
