Apple Hand Pies
Apple Hand Pies - If you love fall apple desserts, then you're going to obsess over these fun, little apple hand pies that are made with just 4 simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- double pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 21 oz can apple pie filling
- 10 soft caramels
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pie crusts and use a 4-inch round cutter to cut out 20 circles (10 pairs).
- Chop large apple slices in the pie filling into small pieces for easier assembly.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of apple filling onto the center of 10 dough circles.
- Place 1 soft caramel on top of each apple filling mound.
- Lay a second dough circle over each filled one. Press edges to seal, then crimp all the way around with a fork.
- Beat the egg and brush the tops of each hand pie lightly with egg wash.
- Use a sharp knife to cut a small slit in the top center of each pie to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling slightly.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Caramel inside will be hot.
