Description
Salted Caramel Apple Hand Pies are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of apples with the rich flavor of caramel, encased in a flaky crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 115 g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 50 g sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 60 ml cold water
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 75 g brown sugar
- 100 g salted caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed unsalted butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced Granny Smith apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 3 mm thick. Use a round cutter (about 10 cm in diameter) to cut out circles from the dough.
- Place a tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the assembled hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
- Once baked, remove the hand pies from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with salted caramel sauce while still warm.
Notes
- Store leftover hand pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
- For freezing, wrap each pie tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to three months.
