These Apple Hand Pies are even better than McDonald's and so easy to make using a fresh apple pie filling covered in puff pastry.

Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 Puff pastry sheets thawed
- 4 large apples peeled and diced into small bites
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 Tablespoon Juice from half of a small lemon
- ¼ cup water
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch combined with 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 egg whisked with a spoonful of water (for wash before baking)
Topping Ingredients:
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Stir in the ¼ cup of water, stirring as it heats. Allow the mixture to become hot, then add in the cornstarch and water.
- Continue stirring the apple mixture for about 5-7 minutes. The apple mixture will begin to thicken, and once it does, remove the pan from heat and set it aside to let it cool.
- Prepare the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping of the pies. Set the bowl aside until the pies are prepared for the oven.
- Roll out each pastry puff sheet into a square, about 12x12. Cut each square into 8 even rectangle pieces, for a total of 16 pieces from both sheets.
- Place four of the rectangle pieces on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon some of the apple pie filling onto the center of each piece, leaving about ¼ inch space on the edges. Gently brush the edges with some of the egg wash, then cover the apples with another rectangle piece.
- Pull the dough so that it reaches each corner and the rectangles line up. Press the pieces together with the end of a fork. Repeat with all four pieces.
- Lightly brush the top of each pie with the egg wash.
- Slice four small slits across the top of each piece, and then sprinkle a spoonful of the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture on top of each pie.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 16-18 minutes, until the pastry begins to turn golden brown.
- Repeat and assemble the other four pies, or place on a second baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, and bake at the same time.
- This recipe makes 8 copycat apple pies.
