Directions:
For the For the Apple Hand Pies
To make this a quick and easy recipe, use store bought puff pastry sheets.
Preheat your oven to 350, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix apples, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch until apples are coated.
Add melted butter.
Cut puff pastry sheet into 4 squares.
Spoon apple filling onto half of a square (about 1/4 cup).
Do not let the apples touch the sides of the puff pastry.
Fold the pastry diagonally over the apples, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.
For the Egg Wash
Beat eggs together with a fork.
Brush each apple hand pie with egg wash and sprinkle evenly with sugar.
Cut a small slit on top of each hand pie.
Bake for 14 to 18 minutes, until golden brown.
Allow hand pies to cool before drizzling with a cream cheese glaze.
For the Cream Cheese Glaze
Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Slowly add powdered sugar and butter, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve desired consistency.
(Use less butter if you prefer a thicker glaze for this recipe.)
Drizzl frosting on the hand pies and serve. Enjoy!
