These old-fashioned fried apple hand pies are made with a sweet homemade apple filling full of warm spices. It’s stuffed inside a flaky and crisp homemade pie crust. Brushing a glaze on top while they are warm adds just the right touch of sweetness. Smaller than a turnover, they’re a delicious handheld treat. Don’t want to use a glaze? Dip the warm hand pies into cinnamon sugar.
Canned biscuits can step in for the pie crust, just be sure to roll them out well. To ensure they do not open while frying, use an egg wash to seal the edges.
