Let’s start with these mouth-watering Best Puff Pastry Apple Hand Pies. They are perfect for people like me who are always on-the-go and need to satisfy those sweet cravings. The crispy and flaky texture of the puff pastry, combined with the sweetness of the apple filling, just send your taste buds to cloud nine.
To make these heavenly hand pies, you will need:
– 2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
– 2 tbsp butter
– 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
– 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
– 1 egg, beaten
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Sprinkle the flour over the apple mixture and stir until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry sheet to a 10-inch square. Cut the sheet into 4 equal squares. Place a heaping spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each square. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg. Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling and seal the edges with a fork. Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the pies with the remaining egg.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pies are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
