Star-Shaped Berry Hand Pies

Ingredients:

• 2 Cup frozen Wyman’s Triple Berry (#1215)
• 3 Tbsp. granulated sugar (#1632)
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 Tsp. salt (#1146)
• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch (#2849)
• 2 pie crusts, store bought or homemade
• 1 large egg
• 1 Tbsp. water
• 1/3 Cup white chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the berries, sugar, lemon juice and salt to a boil over medium heat.
2. Reduce to a simmer, and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until berries break down and are juicy.
3. Gradually add the cornstarch while stirring constantly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
4. Preheat oven to 400°F.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the pie dough.
6. Using a 3-inch or 4-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut dough into stars.
7. Spoon 2 teaspoons of pie filling onto the centers of half the stars. Top with the remaining stars. Using a fork, crimp the edges of the hand pies to seal. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
8. Whisk together egg and water and brush over each hand pie. Using a knife, cut a small slit in every hand pie to allow steam t escape during baking.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden-brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
10. In a small microwave safe bowl, microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds and mix. Continue to microwave for 12-second intervals until melted and smooth.
11. Drizzle over cooled hand pies.
