Kitchen essentials for baking recipes like these hand pies:

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are great for all kinds of baking and not just cookies! My husband loves them for making biscuits, pizzas, and more!

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

How to make caramel apple hand pies:

This is an easy to make recipe that everyone can master. Because we’re starting with pre-made crusts the hardest part is taken care of for you! You can use whatever brand you like. I find it’s easiest because they are already ready to cut and be used. No need to struggle to get the dough just right, etc.

If you don’t want to use fresh apples you can use store bought filling in place of the filling that we are using. It’s a really simple alternative if you don’t want to deal with making your own…I’m partial to this homemade version and thanks to the ready to use pie crusts we don’t have to do too much work as it is!

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Unroll pie crusts. Using a biscuit cutter (3 inch round cutter) to cut out 28 rounds, reroll scraps as needed and roll out using a rolling pin.

In a small dish combine flour, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger

Peel, core and dice apples into tiny pieces.

Add apple, dry ingredients and 1 tablespoon of caramel to the mixture. Mix until well combined.

Lay out 16 rounds of pie crust on a parchment lined baking sheet.

In a small bowl whisk egg and water together. Using a brush, brush egg mixture on the edges of the pie crust. Spoon 1 tablespoon of apple mix into the center of each pie round. Top with another pie crust round. Gently press and seal the edges using a fork. Repeat until all rounds are full.

Using a sharp paring knife make a small X on top of the pie. Then brush the top of each pie with egg wash mixture.

Bake for 20-23 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool and if you wish you may drizzle more caramel over each pie.

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

How many pies does this recipe make?

As it is written this recipe makes about 16 of these mini apple pie pockets. It’s a great way to make a big batch of pies! You can always double the recipe if needed or you can make them bigger. Just keep in mind that you need to double the rounds that you are cutting out so that you have a top and bottom for each pie!
