Recipe: Apple Hand Pies

MAKES 4

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • ¼ cup apple cider
  • Pinch of salt

1 pie crust

  • 1 egg whisked with 1 Tablespoon of water
  • 1 Tablespoon demerara sugar

Steps

In a medium sauté pan, melt and brown the butter.

Add the apples, spices and cider. Sauté until the apples have softened and all the liquid has evaporated.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place in the fridge to cool.

Heat oven to 425º

Cut the pie crust into 4 pieces and roll into circles about ¼ inch thick. Place the cooled apple filling on one half of the disc. Brush the edges with egg wash. Fold the dough over the apples, crimping and rolling to seal in a decorative fashion.

Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with more egg wash and a sprinkle of sugar.

Bake until golden brown about 20 minutes.
