Delicious Apple Cinnamon Hand Pies Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine 400 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Add 180 grams of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in 3 tablespoons of sour cream and 1 large egg, mixing until a soft and elastic dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a skillet, melt 40 grams of unsalted butter over medium heat.

Add the diced apples along with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Stir everything together to combine.

Cook for about 7-10 minutes, until the apples are tender. Finally, squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and mix well. Set aside to cool.

Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle on a floured surface about 5-6 inches in diameter.

Place a generous spoonful of the cooled apple filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork to seal.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the hand pies on it. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade apple cinnamon hand pies!
