Ingredients

• 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 4 tbsp Monk Fruit In The Raw
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp allspice (optional)
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 package of premade pie dough (2 crusts)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Apricot jam (for optional glazing after baking)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add the diced apples, Monk Fruit In The Raw, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.

  3. Step 3

    Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften but still hold their shape.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle in the cornstarch, stir, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

  5. Step 5

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. Step 6

    Roll out the premade pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles about 4-5 inches in diameter (use a bowl or a large biscuit cutter).

  7. Step 7

    Place about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the apple filling in the center of each dough circle.

  8. Step 8

    Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

  9. Step 9

    Whisk the egg with a splash of water and brush the tops of each hand pie with the egg wash.

  10. Step 10

    Cut a small slit or two on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.

  11. Step 11

    Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown.

  12. Step 12

    Once the pies are out of the oven and slightly cooled, brush them with a bit of warmed apricot jam for a lovely shine and added flavor.
