Here is another recipe from my friend Beth, I can’t wait to try it!

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 1 ½ cups flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 T sugar
• 1 stick butter (cut into cubes)
• 4 T ice water

Filling:

• 2-3 large apples
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 T flour

For The Filling:

Dice up your apple into small bite-sized pieces. You can do this by hand or with an apple cutter. I chose to use this handy little apple cutting tool. It peels, slices and cores the apple.

Mix all ingredients and set aside.

For the Crust:

Combine all ingredients and blend with a pastry cutter to cut up the butter. Once the mixture gets to be pea-sized, start kneading with your hands until you get a nicely formed ball.

Using a rolling pin, flatten the ball out on a flat, floured surface until dough is approx ¼” thick. I used a round bowl to make my shape and cut around the bowl with a table knife. I made 2 - ½ moon dough shapes for mine. Spoon some mixture into the center of your formed dough shape. Try to keep a good ½” to ¾” of the sides clear. The sides will be pinches closed with either a fork or use your fingers.

Lastly, using a pastry brush, brush on a thin layer of milk. Poke a couple of breather holes in the top of each hand pie for steam to escape while cooking.

Cook at 425’ for 15 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Then cook at 350’ for an additional 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Immediately take your hand pies off the cookie sheet and let them cool on a wire rack.

Serve warm with ice cream or cold. YUM!
