–> There’s no need to pre-cook the apples before baking. What’s so great about these simple apple tarts is that they’re delicious AND super easy to make. If you keep the few simple ingredients needed to make them in your pantry (namely apples and puff pastry), you’ll be ready to make a batch at a moment’s notice. You’ll definitely want to add these apple tarts to your “pantry dessert” list! If you’d like to make a classic apple pie rather than hand held apple pies, I suggest following my Apple Pie recipe instead.This quick and easy dessert features fresh apples, a dash of cinnamon, and a flaky butter crust made from puff pastry. Can I Use This Recipe to Make Regular Apple Pie? To thaw, place on your counter overnight. Freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag once hardened. Yes, these mini apple hand pies freeze incredibly well. Store the pies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. You can either serve these while they’re warm or store them for a day or two until you’re ready to serve them. Once the pies are ready, just bake them until they’re golden brown and you can see the filling bubbling inside. You can also top your pies with some coarse sugar or leave them plain. The egg wash is just a simple mixture of one egg and some milk that you’ll brush on top of the pies. If you want to make the pie crusts stick together a little better, you can dampen the edges of the circles with a little water or your egg wash. Once you’ve added the filling, top each pie with the other half of the remaining pie crust circles and crimp the edges with a fork. I just cube about one tablespoon of butter into small pieces and add 1 to 2 pieces on top of the filling on each pie. I love to add a little bit of butter fruit pies, so I added some to these as well. You also want to leave some room at the edges so you can place the other pie crust circles on top and crimp the edges together. You’ll only need about 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling per circle, just make sure to evenly distribute the filling the best that you can. Then, spoon the filling on top of half of your pie crust circles. ![]() Once your circles are cut out, refrigerate them while you make the filling which is just a simple mixture of chopped apples, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and spices. If you want to shape your hand pies more like a turnover, then you can use a larger cutter and just adjust the baking time slightly if needed. I used a 3.5-inch cutter for these hand pies and I don’t suggest using one much smaller. To make these hand pies, you’ll start by rolling out your pie crusts. Then, you’ll cut out your circles for the hand pies.
