I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Apple Blueberry Hand Pies

If you have a wide-slot toaster these could be poptarts for breakfast, but I think I'd skip the icing if I were to put them in the toaster!

2 cups sliced apples
1 cup blueberries
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1  1/2 lbs pastry dough
1/3 cup icing sugar
2 tsps lemon juice

 Mix cinnamon, sugar, salt and cornstarch together in a saucepan, then stir in with the apples, blueberries, lemon juice and water.


Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 10 minutes or until apples are tender.

 Roll out pastry and cut rectangles 3 X 8" in size. Place on baking sheet, add some filling, fold over and seal 3 edges.

Brush with an egg wash if desired.
Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes or until golden.

 When cooled mix icing sugar and lemon juice together and drizzle over the tops.

I tried adding sprinkles but that looks kind of lame : (

Makes 9 - 3 X 4" hand pies.
