Individual Blueberry Pies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Crush half the blueberries. Sift together sugar and cornstarch. Add whole and crushed blueberries; toss until berries are well coated. Set aside., On a lightly floured surface, unroll crusts. Cut out six 4-1/2-in. circles; press circles onto bottoms and up sides of greased muffin cups. Evenly spoon in blueberry mixture. Cut out six 2-in. circles from remaining crust; place over filling. Brush with yolk., Bake until crust is golden and filling bubbles, 13-17 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; run a knife around sides of muffin cups and remove tarts to a serving plate.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Toss blueberries, sugar, almond extract, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Pour into two 6-ounce ramekins.
• Mix flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in another medium bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle evenly over the blueberry mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown and blueberries are bubbling, about 25 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper; set aside. Combine blueberries, sugar, flour, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Gently toss to coat blueberries. Set aside.
• On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half the dough into a 1/8-inch-thick square. Using a sharp knife, cut the square into quarters, and carefully drape each quarter over a 5-inch pie tin.
• Place 1 1/2 cups blueberry mixture in each pie tin, mounding berries in the center. Dot each pie with 1 1/2 teaspoons butter.
• Again, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out remaining dough into a 1/8-inch-thick square. Using a sharp knife, cut square into quarters. With a 1-inch round biscuit cutter, cut a hole from the center of each quarter. Carefully drape each quarter over blueberries so steam hole is centered. Press edges together to seal. Trim edges around pie plates to form a 1-inch lip.
• Dampen the 1-inch lip of dough with water. Using scissors, snip inward from outside edge of pie at 3/4-inch intervals, making each cut about 3/4 inch deep. As you cut the dough, carefully fold alternating tabs to create the bear-tooth crimping design. Return to refrigerator until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Place pies on prepared baking pan. Brush each pie with water, and sprinkle with sugar. Transfer to oven, and bake until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees. and continue baking until blueberry juice begins to bubble up, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer pies to a wire rack to cool.
