Apple Hand Pies!

Apple Hand Pies

Refrigerated Pie Crust 2 Apples 1 tsp. Cinnamon 1 Tbsp. Flour Sprinkle of Nutmeg Scant 1/2 c. Sugar Cinnamon/Sugar mixture Peel and dice apples and add them to a sauce pan. Stir in cinnamon, flour, nutmeg and sugar and cook until apples are getting soft. Roll out pie crust until it is just a little bigger than it comes and cut out with leaf shaped cookie cutter. Spoon about 1/2 tsp - 1 tsp filling into the center and cover with a second leaf shaped piece of dough. Place on baking sheet and crimp edges with a fork. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar and bake at 350 until lightly browned. I used four pie crusts and ended up with about 35 leaf shaped pies.

Aren't these adorable? I got this recipe from The Homespun Heart. It was a chilly morning here...I'm loving it! I wonder when our first fire will be lit?
