It’s fall here on the farm. And that means it’s apple season too. Which translates to Melissa get’s to make lots of yummy apple recipes for the family. Fall is my favorite time of year. There is something so comforting about baking, especially when the weather starts to cool. Thanks Mom for teaching me all your tips and tricks. Anyway, I always use a variety of apples when I bake. Using more than one type of apple adds to the flavor profile of the recipe. I used a combination of Fuji and Honey Crisp to make these Glazed Apple Hand Pies.

I scaled down the ingredient amounts of my go-to apple pie filling (from the Junior’s Cookbook). I also have learned through the years, that it is OK to cheat once in a while….I used a refrigerated pie crust to cut down on time. Bottom line is, do whatever works best for you. No judgment on my part (wink..wink). Use a large biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out the circles. Add a heaping teaspoon of the apple filling to one side of the circle. Brush circle with egg wash, fold over and press together with the end of a fork.
