No need to fuss with homemade pie dough, either: Frozen puff pastry helps these cute, hand-held desserts come together in a snap. When combining the ingredients for the filling, be sure not to smash the blackberries—you want the fruit to remain as whole as possible. It might seem like 1/3 cup is a lot of filling, but the thawed puff pastry easily stretches over it and seals nicely with a fork. You'll want to use this amount of filling, as it will shrink down as it bakes.
