Sweet Summer Blackberry Hand Pies
"These blackberry hand pies are packed with the sweet, fruity flavors of a homemade blackberry pie but fit perfectly in your hand. Hand pies are great for easy serving and storing, and they're easier to make for people who don't feel comfortable making a full pie (me included)! When you're planning to cook for a party, it's much less stressful to make a batch of hand pies that are cute and taste delicious with a side of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Simply hand them out at a barbecue or other get together. They're just as a delicious as a full blackberry pie without the extra hassle."
