Little Apple Hand Pies
Ingredients
  • Homemade pie crusts or store bought pie crusts (enough to make 6 pies)
  • 5 c. apples, peeled, cored and diced
  • 2 T. unsalted butter
  • ½ c. packed light brown sugar
  • 1 t. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ t. ground nutmeg
  • ¼ t. ground cloves
  • ⅓-1/2 c. heavy whipping cream
  • Sanding sugar
Instructions
  1. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add apples, butter, sugar and spices to pan and stir to combine.
  2. Cook until butter melts and apples are just soft, not mushy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, and transfer apple filling to bowl to cool.
  4. Preheat oven 375. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  5. Roll dough out onto a generously-floured piece of parchment paper, until about ⅛” thick.
  6. Using a 5” diameter cookie cutter or saucer and cut out 6 circles. Reroll dough if necessary to achieve 6 pies.
  7. Lay the pastry circles on the sheet pans.
  8. Top with the apple mixture, without as much liquid as possible. Too much liquid will make it messy.
  9. Fold the dough over in half and use your fingers to gently press the edges together. Using the back of a fork, gently press down to create a fluted seal along the edge.
  10. Lightly brush the top of each pastry with the cream and sprinkle with the sanding sugar.
  11. Cut a small “x” slit on top of each pie.
  12. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Let cool 10 minutes on baking rack.
  14. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
