We are coming upon that time of year when we are visiting family and friends that don’t live close by.  Handsome & I always love to take snacks for those extra long drives and hand pies are our favorite take alongs.  The kids love them too!

Ingredients
  • 1 refrigerated pre-made pie crust
  • 1 apple (dieced, very small)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon flour
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 5 teaspoons cream cheese

Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Take pie dough out of the refrigerator while making the filling.
  3. Combine apples, lemon juice, salt, sugar, vanilla, & flour. Mix throughly and set aside.
  4. Unroll pie dough on to a floured surface. Using a rolling pin to make the circle just a bit larger.
  5. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out circles and place on a baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper. (I got 10 circles from 1 pie crust, use scraps and re-roll to get the extra 2)
  6. Place a dollop of cream cheese in the center of ½ of the circles and then add the apple mixture on top of the cream cheese. Place a circle on top of the apples and use a fork to crimp the edges together.
  7. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash over the top of each hand pie.
  8. Make slits in the each pie so the steam can be released during cooking.
  9. Sprinkle each pie with the raw sugar.
  10. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
