Apple Hand Pie

September 9, 2019 by orchardartwork

Love this video tutorial that walks you through how to make hand pies. Just follow this step-by-step and you will have the most adorable and flavorful apple hand pies ever. Crimping is a cinch!

Ingredients:

  • Store-bought pie crust – you can make your own, but we took the shortcut
  • Butter – a bit of bacon fat* is an excellent addition. See note below
  • Apples – something flavorful like a Honeycrisp or Jonathan
  • Salt
  • White sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Water

*Bacon twist – We had some bacon drippings left from breakfast so we used them in place of some of the butter. Wow, bacon and apples are a great combination! We need to explore this combination in more recipes
