Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 0.33 cup ice water

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or a mix
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest

For the Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

Make the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  • Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a medium bowl, gently toss together the berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest.

Assemble the Hand Pies:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
  • Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut out 3-4 circles from the dough. Re-roll scraps if necessary.
  • Place about 2 tablespoons of filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a 0.5-inch border.
  • Moisten the edges of the dough with water, then fold the other half over the filling to create a semi-circle. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Cook the Hand Pies:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water for the egg wash.
  • Brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash and cut a few slits in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
  • Place the hand pies in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the basket.
  • Air fry for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
