Caramel Apple Hand Pies!
Use my fave shortcut ingredient to make these adorable, easy, no-fuss and totally delicious hand pies!
Ingredients
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled cored and chopped into small dice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts, at room temperature
- 9 soft caramels, each cut into 4 pieces
- flaky sea salt
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- raw sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Allow to cool (you can pop the pan in the fridge to speed things up).
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll one of the crusts and gently go over it once or twice with a rolling pin, just to smooth out the edges. Use a glass or cookie cutter (3 1/4") to cut out circles and place on your prepared baking sheet. Top each with some of the apple filling, 3 pieces of caramel and a bit of flaky sea salt. Cut circles out of the remaining pie crust and top the filled crusts, pinching the edges to seal (you can re-roll the scraps to get as many circles as possible).
- Use a fork to crimp the edges, and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle generously with the raw sugar and cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 18 – 20 minutes or till deep golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool – serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Once assembled, pies can be frozen, either baked or unbaked. If freezing unbaked, save the egg wash and sugar until the pies are ready to go in the oven.
