Description

Adorable gluten-free hand pies shaped like ghosts and filled with a tart-sweet blueberry mixture, perfect for Halloween celebrations and family baking.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 68 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)

  • Instructions

    1. In a large bowl combine gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt.

    2. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add ice water a tablespoon at a time until dough forms.

    3. Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.

    4. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough to 1/8-inch thickness and use a ghost-shaped cutter to cut matching top and bottom pieces.

    5. In a medium bowl, toss blueberries with lemon juice and cornstarch until coated.

    6. Place bottom dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, add 1–2 tablespoons of blueberry filling to each, then top with second dough piece.

    7. Crimp edges with a fork, cut small vents or eye shapes, and brush each pie with beaten egg.

    8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes until edges are golden and filling bubbles.

    9. Let pies cool for 15 minutes before glazing.

    10. Whisk powdered sugar with milk and a splash of lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over cooled pies.

    11. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
