Preparation of Filling

Prepare the Puff Pastry
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into rectangles measuring about 4x5 inches.
Fill and Form the Pies
  1. Spoon a tablespoon of the cream cheese-blueberry mixture onto one half of each pastry rectangle.
  2. Fold the other half over the filling to create a pocket. Seal the edges with a fork to prevent leakage.
Brush and Bake
  1. Brush the tops of each pie with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Optionally, sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon.
  2. Place the hand pies on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
  1. Once baked, allow the hand pies to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
