Ingredients

Scale

1 cup frozen blueberries
1 ready-made pie crust (about 9 inches)
2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the filling by mixing frozen blueberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl until evenly coated.
On a floured surface, roll out the pie crust to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into circles using a pastry cutter.
Place one tablespoon of the blueberry filling on each circle, leaving space around the edges.
Fold the dough over the filling to form half-moons and seal them by pressing edges or crimping with a fork.
Whisk the egg with a bit of water and brush over each pie for a golden finish.
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook pies in a single layer for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
