    These hand pies are an ideal recipe to create with kids as the recipe is quick and simple to make. The kids will be so proud of themselves! Each pie consists of a single apple slice dipped in cinnamon sugar and baked in a puff pastry shell.

    Tips for Making the Apple Hand Pies:

    Ingredients

    • Tart apple: only one apple is needed to produce six mini hand pies. A Granny Smith apple works well in this recipe. Peel, core and cut the apple into six round slices (approximately ¼" slices).
    • Puff Pastry: homemade puff pastry or a store-bought brand work equally well. You need six 5" x 5" squares of puff pastry.
    • Cinnamon and sugar: combine the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish. Dip both sides of the apple slices to coat with the mixture. Additionally, the mixture is sprinkled over the pastry prior to baking.
    • Egg: lightly whip one egg for brushing on the pastry before baking.

    Assemble the pies:

      I didn't realize folding the puff pastry to make this shape could be so easy. My apple hand pies looked like they came straight from a Paris pastry shop!
