Description
These delightful Vegan Blueberry Ghost Hand Pies feature a flaky, golden crust perfectly complementing a sweet, bursting blueberry filling. They are entirely vegan, dairy-free, and surprisingly easy to make with pre-made pie crust, making them a fun and wholesome family activity.
Ingredients
- Vegan pie crust (store-bought or homemade) 2 sheets (14 oz package)
- Fresh or frozen blueberries 2 cups
- Granulated sugar 1/4 cup
- Cornstarch 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice 1 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon
- Plant-based milk (for wash) 2 tablespoons
- Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling) 1 tablespoon
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2. In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix everything well.
3. 3. Unroll the vegan pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter (about 3-4 inches tall), cut out ghost shapes from both pie crusts. You should get about 6-8 ghost shapes from each sheet, yielding approximately 12-16 total ghost shapes.
4. 4. Place half of the ghost cut-outs on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about one tablespoon of the blueberry filling onto the center of each ghost. Do not overfill.
5. 5. Gently place another ghost cut-out on top, aligning the edges. Use a fork to crimp around the edges of each pie, sealing it completely.
6. 6. Brush the tops of the vegan blueberry hand pies with plant-based milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cut small slits (eyes) into the top crust of each ghost pie.
7. 7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbles.
8. 8. Let your Vegan Blueberry Ghost Hand Pies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
