Description

These Irresistible Air Fryer Blueberry Hand Pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat perfect for any time of day. Made with flaky puff pastry and a sweet blueberry filling enhanced with a hint of lemon juice and cinnamon, these hand pies are baked to golden perfection in the air fryer for a quick and mess-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Filling

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Puff Pastry and Finish

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for cooking the hand pies.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh or thawed blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and optional cinnamon. Stir gently to mix and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Roll and Cut Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut the pastry into evenly sized squares suitable for hand pies.
  4. Fill and Seal: Place a spoonful of the blueberry filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle or rectangle, then firmly seal the edges using the tines of a fork to keep the filling contained.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the top surfaces of each hand pie. This step ensures a beautiful golden-brown finish after cooking.
  6. Air Fry: Arrange the prepared hand pies in your air fryer basket without overcrowding to allow even cooking. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pies are puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the hand pies from the air fryer and let them cool briefly before serving warm for a delightful taste experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren’t available; just be sure to thaw and drain them well.
  • Adding cinnamon is optional but adds a warm, spicy note to the filling.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket as this will prevent even cooking and browning.
  • Use a fork to seal the edges well to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
  • These hand pies are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the air fryer for a crisp finish.
