Apple Hand Pies

Yield: 12-14 hand pies

Prep Time: 10 minutes, plus 10 minutes for glaze

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

For the hand pies:
•1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crust (for two pies)
•1/4 cup unsalted butter
•1 can pie filling (I used cherry)
•1 egg white, beaten

For the glaze:
•1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
•2 Tbsp milk and 2 Tblsp. juice from pie filling

Directions:

1.Remove pie crusts from package and allow to come to room temperature while you prepare filling. Preheat oven to 425F.
2.use a can or class and punch out circles for the hand pie.
5.Using a 1 Tbsp scoop, drop apple mixture into center of each pie crust circle. Fold in half and pinch edges COMPLETELY. Fold pinch edges over. Poke hand pie with tines of a fork to prevent bursting.
6.Beat egg white in a small bowl. Brush over the tops of each pie. Bake on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned.
7.While pies are baking, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Remove cooked pies from baking sheet and drop in glaze, coating it completely. Return to parchment paper and allow to set, about 10 minutes. Enjoy warm or cold.
