These hand pies are made with a combination of fresh berries, including strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, and are wrapped in a flaky pastry crust.

To make these Mixed Berry Hand Pies, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg, beaten
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, mix together the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Set aside.
Unroll the pie crusts and cut each one into 4 equal pieces. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the berry mixture onto one half of each piece of dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Brush the tops of the hand pies with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
Bake the hand pies for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
