Ingredients
Pastry
2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade equivalent)
1 egg, beaten (for sealing and brushing)
Filling
2 medium apples, peeled and diced
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
Optional twist: Add 1/4 tsp nutmeg or a splash of vanilla
Glaze
3/4 cup (85g) powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
Optional: 1/4 tsp cinnamon or drizzle of caramel
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a pan, cook apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and lemon juice until soft (5–7 minutes). Cool.
Roll out pie dough and cut into rectangles (about 3×4 inches).
Spoon filling onto half the rectangles, leaving edges clear. Brush edges with egg wash.
Top with remaining rectangles and seal edges with a fork. Poke holes in the top.
Brush tops with egg wash and bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden.
Cool slightly, then glaze.
