These Vegan Blueberry Ghost Hand Pies are a spooky-sweet Halloween treat made with a flaky vegan crust and juicy blueberry filling—perfect for fall festivities and plant-based celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter or coconut oil (cold)
  • 6–8 tbsp ice water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp plant-based milk (for brushing)
  • Raw sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold vegan butter until crumbly.
  2. Add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, syrup, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla. Simmer until thickened. Cool completely.
  4. Roll out chilled dough and cut into ghost shapes using a cookie cutter or stencil.
  5. Spoon cooled blueberry filling onto half of the cutouts, leaving a border.
  6. Top with remaining dough cutouts. Press edges with a fork and cut out eyes or slits for decoration.
  7. Brush tops with plant-based milk and sprinkle with raw sugar, if using.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries can be used directly—no need to thaw.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness based on berry tartness.
  • Store-bought vegan pie dough can be used to save time.
  • Add cinnamon or nutmeg for a seasonal spice.
  • Use gluten-free 1:1 flour blend for a GF version.
