Step 1
In a large bowl, stir together the
All-Purpose Flour (2 1/3 cups)
,
Cornmeal (1/4 cup)
,
Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp)
, and
Salt (1/2 tsp)
. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work the
Butter (1 cup)
into the flour mixture until it is crumbly and the butter is pea-sized.
Step 2
Shift the butter and flour mix to one side of the bowl. On the empty side, add one tablespoon of
Water (1/2 cup)
and toss the dry mix into it. Continue this process, one tablespoon of water at a time, until the mixture is moist. Work quickly and do not overwork the mix or the crust will be tough.
Step 3
Press the dough together into a flat disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place oven rack in center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll the prepared cornmeal crust until thin like you would use for a traditional pie. Cut into even rectangles.
Step 6
On one side of each rectangle, spoon about 2 tablespoons of
Canned Fried Apples (2 cans)
. Fold the dough over, press the edges together, and crimp with a fork to seal.
Step 7
Repeat with each piece of dough.
Step 8
Whisk together the
Egg (1)
and
Water (1 tsp)
. Brush the top of each pastry lightly with egg wash. Cut small vents into each hand pie. Sprinkle the top with
Brown Sugar (to taste)
.
Step 9
Bake for 40 minutes until the hand pies are golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then serve.
