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

Directions

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:

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.

dissapointment
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe needs to be modified, big time. Way too much berries, way too little dough and unnecessary use of grill. Dough... was sticky and wouldn?t stay together. Out of the 8 servings, I was only able to salvage 3. In the future, I suggest only using Food Network Kitchen tested recipes. Seeing that I am only 10, I will take some blame.Read more

Dessert for two
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had some fresh picked blackberries, 1 pre made pie crust left and a couple of 4? ramekins and needed something easy for the... filling when I found this recipe for a dessert for my wife and I. I cut the filling recipe down in half for 2 cups of berries and cut rounds out of the pie crust and baked at 350 for 35 min. They turned out great. Read more

Forget Hostess!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I don't really like pie, but these little personal ones are sooooo good! I had a little trouble rolling the dough out without... it sticking to the surface it was on even though I used plenty of flour, but other than that, everything was great! I even ended up with 9 pies instead of 8. The grilling seemed like it would take too long, so I just popped them in the oven at 375 for 25 min. like the other reviewer said and they turned out great!

My favorite way to eat blackberries!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw these on Bobby Flay's show the other day and couldn't stop thinking about them. Fresh blackberries were $4.99 at the... nearest store, so I used a combination of frozen blackberries, blueberries, raspberries. Also I don't have a grill, so I baked them in the oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. I found the dough easy to make in the food processor, and not too sticky as other reviewers commented. The turbinado sugar is a must- it creates a wonderful crunchy sweet coating that makes these turnovers sublime. I served them warm with vanilla ice cream.Read more

Not enough dough
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm not sure what went astray with this recipe, but I definitely did not have enough dough to make 8 pies, even though I did... roll out the dough to 1/4 in. and found that the dough was to wet to hold together when folded over to make the pies, which was surprising given the fact that I refrigerated it a bit longer, 1hr. However, the taste was great but I may try doubling up the dough recipe to have enough next time.Read more

Flaky crust
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really liked how these turned out. I did the pies a night before and just baked them the next morning. I'm kind of new to... doing pastry dough, so that was tricky because it felt like it wasn't staying together and really sticky, but I tried not to over work it. But I liked the outcome. You definitely have to be a blackberry fan, next time ill try another fruitRead more
