Ingredients
- 2 boxes refrigerated pie crust 14.1 ounces each
- 1 can blueberry pie filling 21 ounces
- 1 lemon zested
- 1 egg separated
- 2 ½ c powdered sugar
- ¼ c lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. And let the pie crusts come to room temperature.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the blueberry pie filling. With the lemon zest. And set aside.
- Unroll the pie crusts. Use a 4-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 circles from each crust. You may need to re-roll the scraps to get all the circles.
- Place a tablespoon of blueberry filling in the center of each circle. Brush the edges with egg yolk. Fold the circles in half. And pinch the edges to seal. Fold the edges over. And press with a fork to ensure they are sealed. Poke each hand pie with a fork to prevent bursting.
- Beat the egg white until frothy. And brush it over the tops of the pies. Place the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes. Until golden brown.
- While the pies are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. To make a smooth glaze.
- Once baked, dip the warm pies in the glaze. Use two forks to coat them completely. Place them back on the parchment to set for about 5 minutes. Enjoy!
