Ingredients
 

For the filling:

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh peaches, peeled, diced
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1.5 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of nutmeg

For the crust:

  • 2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 egg white from one large egg, whisked and beaten
  • sugar, to sprinkle on top of pies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a mixing bowl, make the filling. Combine blackberries, peaches, sugar, flour, lemon juice and almond extract.
  • On a floured surface, gently unfold one puff pastry sheet. Press inner folds to reattach if necessary.
  • Flour the rim of a juice glass. Press into puff pastry sheet and turn the glass back and forth to cut a circle out of the pastry sheet. This yielded about 3'' round circles for me.
  • Continue until 12 circles have been cut from the sheets.
  • Place 6 circles on greased baking sheet, with at least one inch in between the circles.
  • Fill each circle with 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of blackberry mixture, mound in middle of circle. Top with another puff pastry circle, and then press the edges together with fingers. Seal edges with tines of fork dipped in whisked egg. Cut a cross in the top of the pie to allow for venting.
  • Gently brush top of mini pies with whisked eggs and a dusting of sugar.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Begin checking on pies around 10 minutes to ensure they don't over bake.
  • Once portions of the pies start turning light brown, they are done.

Notes

  • Filling these pies with the right amount of filling can be tricky. 1 tablespoon isn't quite enough, but at 1.5 tablespoons, you will have to do some stretching to get the filling to fit. Remember that the blackberries will cook down some, so I think it's better to slightly over stuff the hand pies if you can.
  • Do some experimenting on the ingredients, you really can't go wrong with these!
