Description

For quick snacking with your hands or elevated dining with a knife and fork, these golden brown apple hand pies are bursting with a deliciously spiced apple filling.

Ingredients

2 cups apple pie filling, or as needed
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
2 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crusts, at room temperature
1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
salt to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
2 Mix apple pie filling, 3 tablespoons cinnamon, and allspice in a bowl until well combined. Lightly whisk egg and water together in a small bowl.
3 Gently unroll each pie crust and cut into quarters; you will have 8 pieces of dough. Put 4 pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling onto the centers of those pieces, leaving 1/4 inch around the edges uncovered. Cover each filled quarter with a top crust and press the edges together to seal. Roll the edges up and over, and crimp them with a fork. Cut 3 slits for ventilation in the top of each pie with a sharp knife.
4 Brush egg wash over top crusts and all edges. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon, sugar, and salt.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
6 Cool on rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
