Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Granny Smith apples (about 1 lb.)
- peeled and diced
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 Tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- 2 unbaked pie crusts
- rolled into two 12-inch circles
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, sugar, brown sugar, salt, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples start to soften.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crusts and cut into circles. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture on one half of each circle, then fold and seal the edges.
- Beat the egg with milk and brush the mixture over the tops of the hand pies. Cut small slits for ventilation.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Make sure to seal the edges of the hand pies well to prevent them from leaking during baking. You can sprinkle some sugar on top before baking for an extra crunch.
