Mini Apple Hand Pies
4 sheets of Puff Pastry ( I used a Walmart brand Jus Rol )
1 21 oz can of Apple Pie Filling (I used Walmart’s Lucky Leaf brand)
1 egg
Preheat Oven according to Puff Pastry packaging.
This made 30+ biscuit shaped pies, two large baking sheets full. You could also make them rectangles/squares/triangles by cutting the sheets with a knife, and not worry about cutting them out/ reusing the scraps.
I dumped the pie filling into a slightly larger metal bowl and used my “meat chopper” to make the pieces smaller. This is the one I bought Rebecca. The one I have came from Pampered Chef, and I have seen them at Marshall’s, but not recently (hence this Amazon version)
Unroll sheets of puff pastry and decide on shapes. For the circles, I used a 2.75” cutter. If you don’t have one, I just found this set on Amazon that looks nice, and I like them, because they are simple to store.
Cut out as many shapes as you can from the sheet. I’m going to use the circles as my main instruction, because that is what I did.
Place half of the circles on the two cookie sheets
I used a 1 Tbs cookie scoop (Pampered Chef), here is one similar on Amazon and put a plop in the middle of each circle.
Carefully place another circle on the top of each filled circle, lightly pressing down with your fingers all the way around. Follow this up using the tines of a small fork to crimp the edges all the way around.
In a small bowl, whisk one egg with 1-2 TBS water until well mixed.
Use a pastry brush to brush this egg wash over the tops of each hand pie.
Pop in the oven for 15 minutes, till golden, remove and let cool at least 10 minutes before removing to a rack to finish cooling.
Enjoy!!!!!
Blessings~
