Description

Delight in these irresistible Air Fryer Blueberry Hand Pies, featuring flaky puff pastry filled with juicy, sweet blueberries. Perfectly golden and crisp, these hand pies come together quickly using your air fryer, making them an easy and impressive dessert or snack.

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

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat up while you prepare the pies.
  2. Prepare the blueberry filling: In a medium bowl, combine fresh or thawed blueberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and optional cinnamon. Mix gently and set aside to marinate.
  3. Roll and cut the puff pastry: Lightly flour your surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut it into even squares, ensuring they are a manageable size for hand pies.
  4. Fill and seal the pies: Spoon a generous amount of blueberry filling into the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle or rectangle and seal edges securely by pressing with a fork to prevent leaking.
  5. Apply egg wash: Beat the egg and brush it over each hand pie’s surface. This step ensures a beautiful golden finish when baked.
  6. Air fry the hand pies: Arrange the hand pies in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook them for 10-12 minutes at 375°F until they are puffed up and golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove from the air fryer and let the pies cool slightly before serving warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed frozen blueberries for best results.
  • Ensure puff pastry is fully thawed for easy handling and best texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and browning.
  • Egg wash can be skipped or replaced with milk for a less glossy finish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer for a crisp texture.
