Apple Blueberry Pie on a Stick
Pies are an amazing dessert, but they're not exactly the most portable - until now. For National Something on a Stick Day, we're whipping up these no -ugar-added apple blueberry pies from Modest Marce. Naturally sweetened with just fruit, stevia, and Zevia Ginger Ale, what's not to love about these on-the-go treats?
Yields:
6 pies
Directions
All Butter Pie Dough
- In a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt twice to blend.
- Add in the butter and pulse until pea sized crumbs form.
- Add in the vanilla and water, one tablespoon at a time until clumps form.
- Dump mixture onto a floured surface and shape dough into a disk.
- Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Pies on a Stick
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over low heat, simmer the apples, blueberries, stevia, Zevia Ginger Ale, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until fruit is broken down (about 5 minutes).
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and cornstarch. Pour mixture over the fruit filling and stir for about 60 seconds until mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and let cool while you roll the dough.
- On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/8th inch thick. Cut out 12 3-inch circles.
- Add a tablespoon of filling onto 6 of the circles and brush the edges with egg wash.
- Place a wooden stick in the center and top with a second circle of dough. Press down the edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush the tops with more egg wash and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until tops are golden brown and filling bubbles.
- Let cool to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
