Blackberry Hand Pies Perfect for Summer

Rob and I have always had a huge love for food, and we love to cook and try out new recipes. Being stuck at home the past couple months, that means Rob and I have had a lot of extra time to have some fun cooking and trying new recipes at home. Our sweet neighbors came by the other day and brought us a huge case of fresh blackberries. I think they must’ve known I’ve been craving a lot of fruits and vegetables with this pregnancy. It was so incredibly kind of them to share their haul with us.

As I put them away in the fridge, I thought about how there was no way that I was going to be able to eat them all before they went bad. I really didn’t want to have to freeze that much either. I immediately started thinking of what I could make with a portion of them while keeping enough to eat fresh and enough to freeze for later. Rob suggested a blackberry pie, and I immediately thought of hand pies that we saw Sean Brock’s pastry chef make on a show we watched recently. Not only would they be the perfect portion size for a sweet treat, but we’d be able to easily share back with our sweet neighbors.

Today on the blog, I can’t want to share with you this amazing recipe that I hope your family enjoys as much as we did!

Blackberry Hand Pie Recipe

These blackberry hand pies were amazingly delicious and no doubt absolutely perfect for summer. My favorite thing about these hand pies is that they aren’t overly sweet, and the fresh fruit makes them taste refreshing (rather than super processed.) Not only would they be the perfect dessert for the whole family (paired with vanilla ice cream, of course!) But, they would also be the perfectly portioned and guest friendly dessert at a summer BBQ or cookout. I think they’d especially be perfect for a 4th of July cookout after a long day at the lake or pool!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Package (2 Crusts) – Refrigerated Pie Dough
  • 12 oz (2 Containers) – Fresh Blackberries
  • 1/4 cup – Sugar
  • 1 tbsp – Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp – Cinnamon
  • 1 Egg – beaten
  • Additional Sugar for Topping

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the hand pie filling by rinsing the blackberries well, cutting them in half, and placing them into a medium-sized bowl. Add in the sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Mix well.
  • Place a rectangle of parchment paper on your counter. Lay out the pie crusts (I prefer to work with one at a time.), and gently roll them out to be 1/4″ thickness, if they aren’t already.
  • Using a large cookie cutter (or other round object), cut out circles about 5 inches across.
Mine were slightly bigger than 5″, and I was able to make 8 hand pies with 2 pie crusts. Next time I make these, I plan to use a 4″ inch cookie cutter to be able to make possibly 10. The filling amount in this recipe was enough to make about 10 hand pies.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Eye ball this. You want enough filling to make it nice and full but not too full where you’re unable to close the pies.
I used a slotted spoon for this part to make sure I had some but didn’t have a ton of excess liquid inside each hand pie. You can also add 3 tbsp of flour to the mixture if you’d like it to be thicker and avoid any excess liquid issue.
  • Fold the dough over, and press the edges firmly with your fingertips to seal. I also went around the edges with a fork to make sure the edges were fully sealed (and for decoration!) If the hand pies aren’t properly sealed, they’ll pop open and seep everywhere when you bake.
  • Using a knife, gently cut three small slits on the top of each hand pie.
  • Brush each hand pie with the beaten egg, and sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top.
  • Bake your hand pies for 20 minutes, or until they are slightly golden brown and flaky. Let them cool slightly (they’ll be bubbling inside when they come out!), and enjoy!

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
