Ever had a lingonberry? They’re pretty fantastic. Similar to cranberries, they’re much smaller and juicier – and delicious! Tart, but sweet – they’re perfect in jams and jellies (due to natural amounts of pectin). Known as a “superberry” and found in Sweden – they’re perfect for these pies.

Lingonberries & Cream Hand Pies

The need for a fork doesn’t exist and they’re perfect to put on trays for easy grabbing (hence the name “hand-pie). My co-workers thought so, anyway. The boss too, apparently,

I’ve used cream cheese with a touch of powdered sugar to pair with the jam in these pies and it works well. A touch of tart, a little sweet wrapped in delicious buttery pie dough. Brushed with a little egg and baked, ready to eat in about 20 minutes.

Yum, right?! (Right!)

Easy to make

You don’t have to get fancy with the shapes or decorative edges on these pies, they’ll still taste JUST as good if you get a little rustic. You shouldn’t skip the knife cuts in the top though, it’s essential to ensure the pies don’t, well – explode.

That would be sad. And messy.

These are PERFECT for a dessert, or a mid-morning snack, and great for sharing. They taste just as good room temperature as they do warm.

I hope you love them as much as I do!

I love lingonberry jam – but I usually eat it with Swedish meatballs, not in a sweet way. Your hand pies look perfect – so pretty!

I have never had a Lingonberry or jam before but it sounds delicious. And these hand pies, just adorable. I also love that you could use any jam you have on hand and your only about 20 minutes from a portable pie!

Oh these look so cute and delicious – not to mention easy!! I love such quick stuff for my kids especially for play dates. These look perfect

Kylee, these little hand pies are extremely cute! And, truth be told, my dear, you had me drooling at Lingonberries. I love them so much! They are not as popular here in Toronto and hard to find, but growing up in Newfoundland, my mom had them on hand consistently. Your hand pies reminded me so much of the little pies she used to make with lingonberries. So cute!
