For the Filling:
2 smaller Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1 Honeycrisp apple, peeled, cored, and diced
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
For the Assembly:
2 sheets of store-bought pie crust
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
For the Glaze:
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.
