Cinnamon Apple Hand Pies
Another day, another apple recipe with the apples that we got from the orchard!
Apple pie is hands down my favorite pie recipe, but mini hand pies are in a league of their own. With this recipe, I took the American classic and shrunk it without losing all the flavor. Hand pies are so fun because everyone gets their own and it makes them feel extra special. Better yet, you don’t have to share with anyone else when you have your own individual dessert!
Before we dive into the recipe, a couple tips — Here I used Pink Lady apples because they bake the best in my opinion. I also amped up the cinnamon because tis the season for all the holidays smells and flavors, right? So feel free to adjust the cinnamon.
