This week on Tuesdays with Dorie Amy of South in Your Mouth selected Double Crusted Blueberry Pie. This was an interesting recipe because I was debating on whether or not to make this. Blueberries are expensive here and I do not care for blueberry pie. What made me try it was the pie crust, I have not made many and this one was different from the ones I have made in the past. The crust came out flaky and buttery. I liked it. I did have some trouble rolling out the crust. I think that I may have added just a little to much water, it kept sticking to everything. That and it was warm.I made three small hand pies. for the filling I used rhubarb, I have lots right now, some frozen blueberries and a little bit of sugar. Instead of bread crumbs I used some gram crackers. It soaked up the juice nicely.
For more pies check out Tuesdays with Dorie, some people went and did the coolest things with pie.

What a neat idea, hand pies. Sounds good with rhubarb.
Loving the hand pies. Like the hostess treats of my youth, but oh so much healthier.
I thought the crust was really, really good, too. Cute hand pies!
Funny - I always called them turnovers growing up, but it seems like most people call them hand pies. Either way, they look tasty.
I love the way you made your pies! They look really pretty. Graham crackers was a great idea too.
Rhubarb and blueberries sound like an interesting combo I never would have come up with! Looks terrific!
That looks so cute! Great substitutions!

I've been hoping I wasn't the only one to go the hand-pie / turnover route! Great job!
Your hand pies look delish!
Those look like little blueberry calzones! I love it!
Love your turnovers! Yes, this crust really needs to be well chilled...glad they turned out well after giving you trouble.
