I love little fried pies….but these little baked pies taste just as good. And they are a bit more healthy for you! Try them and tell me how you like them! The filling in this recipe is apple, but you can make peach, blueberry, strawberry…the list is endless.
Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 pound prepared pie dough, cut into 4 pieces
- 2 large green apples, peeled and cored
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon water, or more if needed (optional)
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1 teaspoon white sugar, or as needed - divided
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Cut peeled and cored apples into quarters, cut each quarter into 3 wedges, and cut wedges into chunks.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; let butter brown to a light golden color about 1 minute.
- Stir apples into hot butter; sprinkle with salt, white sugar, and brown sugar.
- Cook and stir apple mixture until apples are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Mix in cinnamon and water
- Continue cooking until apples are soft and sticky, 1 to 2 more minutes.
- Let apple mixture cool.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Form a dough piece into a ball, place on a floured work surface, and roll into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
- Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup apple filling in the center.
- Fold dough over filling, leaving about 1 inch of dough on the bottom side visible below the top side. Gently press dough closed around filling, using your fingertips.
- Fold the overhanging bottom part of the dough up over the top edge, working your way around the crust, and pinch the overhang tightly to the top part of the crust.
- Crimp the edge tightly, pinching a little bit of dough with the thumb and forefinger
- Continue pinching all the way around until the crust is tightly crimped together.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Transfer pies onto prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk egg with milk in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Brush top of each hand pie with egg mixture and sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon white sugar.
- Cut 3 small vent holes in the top of each pie.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pies are golden brown and filling is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- These are so good...and they are not fried....you can use any filling, apple, peach, blueberry...your choice.
