Method
Prepare the Pie Crust
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and mix until crumbly.
- Add ice water gradually until dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make the Apple Filling
- In a bowl, mix diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until well combined.
Assemble the Hand Pies
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface.
- Cut out circles (about 4 inches in diameter) and place a spoonful of apple filling on one half.
- Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges with a fork. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake the Hand Pies
- Mix egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the wash.
- Place the pies on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
