Flaky pastry filled with blueberry pie filling and air fried until crisp and golden. Topped with a light icing drizzle these portable hand pies are perfect for snacks on the go.
Unroll the pastry and cut each pastry sheet into 8 rounds using a 3.5 inch cutter.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of filling into the centre of 8 of the rounds, then place the remaining 8 rounds on top.
Using a fork, go around the edge of each pie using the tines to press and seal the edges together. Make sure it is sealed all the way around.
Lighly whisk the egg then brush over the top of each hand pie.
Place the pies into the air fryer basket or tray leaving a bit of room between them. Work in batches if you need to, I can fit 4 pies in my 5.8qt basket.
Place the basket into the air fryer and set the temperature to 350°F for 8 minutes.
When the timer is complete the pies should be lightly golden and feel crisp when you tap them.
Remove the pies to a cooling rack.
Whisk the powdered sugar and milk (or cream or lemon juice) in a small bowl until you have an icing just thin enough to drizzle.
Using a spoon, drizzle the icing over the pies. Serve and enjoy either warm or cold.
Notes
I've used a 3.5 inch round cutter to form the pies, but you can use whatever size and shape you like.To get more pies you can gather the scraps of pastry and roll them out with a rolling pin.If your air fryer had both an air fry and bake setting you will use the air fry setting for this recipe.
