1. Prepare the Apple Filling:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

• Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the apples have softened slightly.

• Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

2. Assemble the Hand Pies:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Roll out the store-bought pie crust and cut out circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter) using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass.

• Place a spoonful of apple filling in the center of one dough circle.

• Top with a second dough circle, gently pressing down around the edges to seal.

• Crimp the edges with a fork to fully seal the pie.

• Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

• Use a small knife to cut two small slits on top of each pie to allow steam to escape while baking.

3. Bake the Pies:

• Place the assembled hand pies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

4. Prepare the Glaze:

• In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Drizzle the glaze over the cooled hand pies and allow it to set for a few minutes.
