Dried Apple Hand Pies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 3/4 cup of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
• 4-5 tablespoons of ice water
• 1 package (8 ounces) of dried apples
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon of salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• Coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball. Divide the dough into two equal parts and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Place the dried apples in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are soft and plump.
5. Drain the apples, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Place the apples back in the saucepan.
6. In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle over the apples and stir to coat.
7. Gradually add the reserved cooking water to the apple mixture, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
8. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
9. Roll out one half of the chilled dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 4-inch round cutter to cut out circles of dough. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
10. Place a spoonful of the cooled apple filling in the center of each dough circle. Brush the edges with beaten egg and fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork.
11. Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
