Ingredients
1cupraspberries
1cupblueberries
2tablespoonchia seeds
1tablespoonhoney
1packages of premade pie dough
1eggbeaten
1tablespoonsanding sugar
Instructions
Start by making the homemade filling. In a small saucepot, combine berries over medium-high heat cook for 5 minutes or until berries began to break down. Give them a little poke with your spatula to help.
Add lemon juice, honey and chia seeds and simmer for 3-5 minutes until jam begins to thicken.
When ready, set aside to cool and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Begin cutting out circles from the dough for the hand pie components. You will get approximately 8 tops and 8 bottoms. On the tops, cut a small hole to allow even baking in the oven. I used a fun star shape cookie cutter but a simple x with a knife will work too.
Line a greased baking sheet with half of the dough circles. This will be the bottom of the hand pie.
Scoop a couple teaspoons of jam onto the center of each dough square on the baking sheet.
Place the top dough on the pies.
Brush the tops with a beaten eggs and then a light sprinkle of the sanding sugar.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until edges begin to brown and tops become golden.
Notes
