blueberries

When you bake this sugar-dusted confection, any time is the perfect time for a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

From fruit-laden pies to decadent, creamy tarts, there's a recipe here for every type of sweet tooth.

The best thing about hand pies is that you don’t have to share. Personal and portable, these golden, flaky pastries are the perfect vehicle for seasonal fruit.

These easy tarts filled with a superfast homemade freezer jam are as tasty as they are cute. And man, are they ever cute! Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and a touch of lemon zest and sugar are cooked down to spreadable goodness within a half hour. Then all that’s left to do is whip up our easy cream cheese dough, do a bit of rolling, chilling, filling and baking, and you’re rewarded with a bunch of bite-sized mini pies to enjoy with your afternoon tea.

Nothing says summer like a fresh blueberry pie. But there's no need to get fancy—simply roll the crust larger than your pie plate (13-in. for a 9-in. plate) and fold the edges over the filling to get this rustic finish.
