Baked Apple Hand Pies

These pies are delicious! 

Ingredients:

1 box of refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts) or your could make your own dough

1/4 cup butter

3 medium apples peeled and chopped

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 Tbsp flour

1 egg white

Glaze: 

1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk

Start by peeling and chopping your apples. Place them in a skillet with the butter, salt, nutmeg, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook this for about 5 minutes, or until the apples are soft. 

Add the flour. Stir and continue cooking for about a minute. 

Unroll your pie crusts. Using a circular cutter (mine was 6 inches in diameter), make individual circles for the pies. Fill the pie with a scoop of filling. 

Fold the crust over and crimp the edges together with a fork. I also picked the top of the pies with a fork to allow for steam to vent. Place the pies on a mat or parchment paper. Brush each pie with the egg white.  Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes. 

When the pies are slightly browned, pull them from the oven. Whisk the powdered sugar and milk in a bowl and spread the glaze over the pies. Place the pies on a piece of parchment paper to cool and let the glaze harden. 

The glaze only takes a couple of minutes to set. These are best warm.
