1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon butter extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

3.  Mix the blueberries, Splenda, cornstarch, extracts, salt, and lemon juice together in a medium-sized bowl.

4.  Lay the wrapper skins on the baking sheet.

5.  Pour the Egg Beaters into a very small container or bowl.

6.  Dip your finger or a pastry brush into the Egg Beaters and run it along the outside border of each wrapper skin.

7.  Divide the blueberry filling evenly among the wrapper skins, and push to one half of the wrapper skin, leaving about a 1/2" border, where the Egg Beaters are.

8.  Fold the wrapper skin over the blueberry pie filling, and press down on the seam with your finger.

9.  Use a fork to press along the outside edge, sealing it completely.

10.  Spray the pie pockets lightly on top with nonstick cooking spray.

11. Bake the pie pockets for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
