Ingredients

Pie Crust Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cake flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons chilled vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons ice water

Blackberry Filling:

  • 1/4 all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract

To Serve:

  • Egg yolk, lightly beaten
  • Turbinado or sparkling sugar for dusting
  • Nonstick spray

Pie crust:

Directions

In a food processor, blend together flours, sugar, and salt. Add chilled butter and shortening and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle water over flour mixture and pulse until dough forms moist clumps. Gather dough together and divide into 2 equal rounds. Flatten dough into disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 45 minutes.

Blackberry Filling:

Combine flour, sugar, blackberries and almond extract and stir gently until evenly coated.

Preparation:

Working with 1 round at a time, roll dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut circles, approximately 5-inches in diameter using a plate or bowl as a guide. You should have a total of 8 circles. Spoon about 1/2 cup of blackberry filling into the center of each circle. Carefully fold circle over to form a half moon shape. Using a fork, dipped lightly in flour, press tines along the open edge to seal. Transfer hand pies to a parchment paper lined sheet pan and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until needed.

For serving:

Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium indirect heat. Brush hand pies lightly with egg yolk and sprinkle generously with sugar. Transfer hand pies to double-lined, heavy duty foil sprayed with nonstick spray and place on grill. Close lid and grill, rotating after 20 minutes, until crust is golden brown, about 40 to 50 minutes total.

    These were very yummy. I agree with everyone that there is not enough dough for the amount of fruit. I used Pillsbury pie crust and added some cinnamon.

    Having read all the user reviews, I just improvised. Instead of her dough, I made my favorite pie crust dough. Based on what others wrote, I cut the berry amount in half, and since I'm not a fan of almond extract, I left it out. I also baked them instead of grilling them (375 for 15-20 minutes. They actually turned out really well for a first effort, but the next time I'll divide the dough into 8 portions first, then roll into rounds, and maybe sprinkle the berries with a little lemon juice (I like fruit fillings on the tart side. I still had a few berries left over, so I heated them up (sugar, flour and all with a little water and basically made a syrup kind of topping i'll use on waffles or something.

    I'll definitely make these again, and look forward to trying different fruit fillings too.
