Why You'll Love these Blackberry Apple Hand Pies
This blackberry and apple hand pie recipe does take a little time, but much of it is hands-off with the dough needing time to set in the refrigerator and the baking time.
I think it's nice to think about how you'll serve these as well - obviously, they could be piled up on a plate but displaying them in a basket is pretty cute as well. They'd also look really lovely with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Ingredients for Apple Blackberry Pies
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 medium Honeycrisp apples, cored and diced
- 1 ½ cups blackberries
- ¼ cup & 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 sheet puff pastry, preferably Dufour
- 1 egg, whisked
How to Make This Delicious Dessert
- Melt butter in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the apples and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft. Stir occasionally.
- Add the blackberries and the ¼ cup sugar, stir to combine. Let cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the juices are gone and the mixture is jam-like.
- Meanwhile, roll the puff pastry into an 18 by 15-inch rectangle on a flat surface. Cut into 9 pieces (6 x 5 inches each).
- With one piece of pastry at a time, create an egg wash around the edges and add 3 heaping tablespoons of the apple mixture on one side of the dough.
- Fold the dough over the filling, so the short sides meet and crimp the edges with a fork.
- Egg wash the top of each pastry packet then sprinkle with a little cane sugar.
- Using a sharp knife, create three slits on the top of each pastry packet. Then place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.
- Chill all the pastries in a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190C). Bake the pastries for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool before serving, as the fillings will be very hot.
For this recipe, I highly recommend using Dufour puff pastry - it's the only puff pastry I use and I love it.
I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe for hand pies!
