Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small saucepan, combine thawed berries, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon until bubbly. Smash berries with a potato masher or fork and set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 sheet of pie dough and cut (9) 5-inch circles out of each, and place them on the baking sheet. On one half of each circle, place 1 tablespoon of jam.
-
Fold remaining dough over the jam to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the outside edges of each pie using a fork
- Combine beaten egg and water to create an egg wash and coat each pie gently with a pastry brush. Cut 2 vertical slits into the center of each half-moon with a sharp knife and bake for 18-20 minutes, until pies are golden-brown.
-
Melt peanut butter for 30 seconds in a microwave-safe bowl. Use a spoon to drizzle melted peanut butter over pies and allow to set at least 10 minutes before serving
Recipe Tip: Have leftover berries? Use them to top on yogurt or blend in smoothies. You can also use frozen berries for this recipe if you prefer.
