Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoon Cold water
• 2 medium Apples
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Cinnamon
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cheddar cheese
• 1 beaten Egg

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, tossing with a fork until the dough forms a ball.
2. Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to 1/8-inch (3mm) thickness. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter or a glass.
6. Place a small amount of grated cheddar cheese in the center of each dough circle. Top with a few apple slices. Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg.
7. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork.
8. Place the mini hand pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
