- 2 Frozen puff pastry sheets thawed, 2 come in a box
- 3 medium sized apples peeled, cored and diced
- 3 tbsp butter unsalted, melted
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice can use 1tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- Egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 tbsp water
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut across horizontally three times, then twice vertically. There should be 12 even cut out rectangles for each sheet. Place the bottoms on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl combine the apples, butter, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Give this a good mix.
Mix together the cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small ramekin.
Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the apple mixture onto half of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a little bit of space on the borders.
Place the remaining rectangles on top and close by crimping with a fork to seal the edges.
Cut two small slits on the top of each hand pie and brush the top with the egg wash.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of each hand pie. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Let cool, eat and enjoy.
