Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Additional Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 hand pies

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups apple pie filling, or as needed
  2. 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, or more to taste
  3. ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  4. 1 large egg
  5. 1 tablespoon water
  6. 2 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crusts, at room temperature
  7. 1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
  8. salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
  2. Mix apple pie filling, 3 tablespoons cinnamon, and allspice in a bowl until well combined. Lightly whisk egg and water together in a small bowl.
  3. Gently unroll each pie crust and cut into quarters; you will have 8 pieces of dough. Put 4 pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling onto the centers of those pieces, leaving 1/4 inch around the edges uncovered. Cover each filled quarter with a top crust and press the edges together to seal. Roll the edges up and over, and crimp them with a fork. Cut 3 slits for ventilation in the top of each pie with a sharp knife.
  4. Brush egg wash over top crusts and all edges. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon, sugar, and salt.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
  6. Cool on rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  7. Use more or less filling to suit your taste. Substitute any canned fruit pie filling. I haven’t tried it with fresh fruit yet.
