Apple Hand Pies Recipe
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups 250g All-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- â…” cup 155g Butter, chilled and cubed
- â…“ cup 80ml Ice cold water *if needed add more
For the filling:

- ¼ cup 50g Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg optional
- 2 tablespoons 16g Cornstarch
- Egg wash for brushing
Instructions
- DIRECTIONS
- Make the dough: in a large bowl whisk flour, salt and sugar. Add cubed butter and using a dough blender, blend the dough with the butter until crumbs are formed. You also can do this process using a food processor.
- Add the water and stir until incorporated.
- Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile make the filling: peel and chop the apples.
- In a small heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the butter. Then add chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat until apples are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, add cornstarch, stir and set aside to cool.
- Assembly: preheat oven to 375F (190C).
- On a floured surface roll out the dough to a 1/8 inch (3mm) thick. Using a round cutter, cut out 4-inch (10 cm) circles.
- Place 1-2 tablespoons of the apple mixture in the center of the circles. Brush the edges of the circle with beaten egg and fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges with a fork. Refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes.
- Brush the pies with egg wash, then, using a paring knife, cut a few small slits on the top of each hand pie, then sprinkle with sugar (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
