Description

Delicious apple hand pies made with flaky einkorn flour pastry and a spiced apple filling.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups Einkorn Flour (270g)
  • 1 cup COLD Butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup COLD water
  • 1 dash of salt
  • 2 large baking apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour (we use einkorn flour)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • sparkling sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Add flour and cubed butter to a food processor. Pulse until pea-sized balls form in the dough.
  2. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before assembling the pies.
  3. Toss diced apples with granulated sugar, light brown sugar, apple pie spice, vanilla, and flour to make the delicious filling.
  4. Roll the dough to about 1/4 in thick and cut it into circles using a 5-inch cookie cutter. Re-roll the dough until you have about 8-10 circles.
  5. Add filling and fold the dough to form hand pies. Crimp the edges if desired, and cut vent slits in the top.
  6. Whisk together egg and water. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash. Optionally, add sparkling sugar.
  7. Place the hand pies in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Allow the pies to cool for about 15 minutes while you make the glaze. Mix all the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together with a whisk until very smooth.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over each apple hand pie and enjoy alone or with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For best results, keep the ingredients cold when making the dough.
  • These pies can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking.
