I’m warming up in the kitchen this morning creating a super simple recipe for apple hand pies. Cooking for those I love is one of my most favorite ways of connecting. It’s so nourishing to feed one another. Apple hand pies are a sweet way to share the love.

4 Apples
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegan butter
Cinnamon
Pie Crusts
Note : Use homemade pie crusts if you are up for it – or – make it easy with a store bought organic pie crust. I suggest one keep a few frozen pie crusts in the freezer for quick recipes. If frozen, let thaw 20 minutes before trying to use for recipes.
Directions
- Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350-400 degrees depending on your oven
- Rinse and chop apples into small pieces – leaving skin on or peeling off depending on your preference
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar onto the chopped apples and stir together and set aside
- Melt 1/4 cup butter and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon – set aside
- Melt 1/4 cup butter and mix with 1 cup brown sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside
- Putting the Hand Pies Together
- Roll out the first pie crust onto a flat surface and cut into 4 equal pieces
- Spoon cinnamon butter onto each pie crust
- Scoop a generous lump of apples onto each pie crust
- Drizzle the brown sugar mixture onto each pile of apples
- Cover each apple pie with a slice of pie crust and pinch together to close the sides
- Drizzle a little bit of butter and brown sugar on top of each pie and sprinkle with cinnamon
- Reserved apples can be spooned alongside the pies to bake for garnish when serving
- Bake at 350-400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until pie crust is fully baked and golden brown
- Let cool for 5 minutes
