Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
pie crust dough
fresh or frozen blueberries
granulated sugar
cornstarch
lemon juice
vanilla extract
egg (for egg wash)
milk or water
optional:
coarse sugar for topping
lollipop sticks
Directions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the blueberries release their juices. Let the filling cool completely.
Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into small shapes using a cookie cutter.
Place half of the cutouts on the baking sheet. Add a small spoonful of blueberry filling to the center of each, then place a lollipop stick on top of the filling.
Brush the edges with a little water or egg wash, then place another piece of dough on top and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using. Cut a small slit in each to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool before serving.
