Making these blueberry hand pies for a meeting on Saturday. Better to bake the day before

I'd bake day before and store as suggested although it seems to be fine either way.

Our pastry chef here makes blueberry hand pies and they are just unbelievably delicious as will these be I'm sure!!

I'd also bake the day before. Crust should be strong enough to hold filling.

Thank you!

I would bake the day before too! Love the look (and crunch) of a sugar topping

On the subject of pies - what appears to be a great slab pie cookbook

I checked this out from the library and I'm loving it. Glorious pictures for each recipe and so many ideas! (sweet and savory)

Deb, I loved that book and have--right beside me--her next book: When Pies Fly

I'm going to try the Strawberry Jam Tart (as a donation) since I have 24 oz already made in my freezer.

There are a lot of savory options in this book.
