Total Time 1 hour 12 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 10 hand pies

Equipment

  • 1 Propane Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Pie crusts Store bought, 2 crusts
  • 2 large Apples
  • 2 tbsp Butter unsalted
  • 1/3 cup Sugar + more for topping, optional
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1 large Egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • Peel, core, and cut the apples into ½-inch pieces. Place cut apples into a large bowl filled with water (to prevent browning).
  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in apples, sugar, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Cover and stir occasionally for 5 minutes or until apples are slightly softened. Stir in flour and continue to cook until apples are soft and tender (but not mushy), and the filling has thickened.
  • Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie crusts & cut into 10 circles.
  • Place ⅓ cup of apple filling at the center of each circle. Fold over the dough, leaving a ½-inch overlap. Push down with a fork to seal the filling.
  • Transfer hand pies onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Brush egg generously on the top surface and sprinkle some sugar on top (optional).
  • Cut slits in the top and bake for 12 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.
