Baked Fruit Hand Pies

🍰 Desserts

Baked hand pies of spiced fruit, the lunchbox pie without the frying. Rustic, crisp-edged and comforting — the dessert that empties the table quietly. Good warm or at room temperature the same day.

Prep 45 min Cook 40 min Serves 7 Hard

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, cold
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Wheat Flour3 cups
  • Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
  • Brown Sugar1/2 cup
  • Apple2 cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Work quickly with chilled butter so it stays in visible flakes through the dough.

  2. 2

    Rub the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs, then bring it together with ice water.

  3. 3

    Rest the dough, wrapped, in the fridge for at least thirty minutes — relaxed dough will not shrink.

  4. 4

    Roll, fill with the apple and wheat flour, and crimp or fold the edges well to seal.

  5. 5

    Bake until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles at the vents, 35-50 minutes, then rest twenty minutes.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
