Apple Hand Pies w/an Oatmeal Crust
(printable recipe at end of page)
(makes 5-6 pies)

Crust
1/2 cup Flahavan’s Irish Oatmeal
1 cup Flour
1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
1 tablespoon Ground Walnuts
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
Pinch Salt
1 Egg
1/2 teaspoon Butter, melted

Filling
1 Apple
1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1/4 teaspoon Rodelle Vanilla
1 1/2 tablespoons White Sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg

In a large bowl mix together the oatmeal, flour, light brown sugar,ground walnuts, baking soda and salt.

In a small bowl, beat the egg with an immersion blender if you have one. If not, use a mixer. Add the beaten egg to the crust mix and mix together. Form the crust into a circle, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for an hour. 

Wash, peel and chop the apples. The pieces need to be small to fit properly in the little pie. Place in a frying pan.

Season apple pieces with the lemon juice, vanilla, both sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook until soft, but with a little firmness, approximately 5-10 minutes. Let cool. 

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out with a rolling pin to 1/8″ inch. Cut the circles, remembering you will need 2 pieces for each pie. The cutter I used is 3 1/2″ round, but of course, any size will work.

Place 1/2 teaspoon to 3/4 teaspoon of the filling in each bottom piece of the pie.

Place a top piece on each pie, and using a fork, move around the pie, marking it wth the tines of the fork. Brush the top with some of the melted butter. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 5-7 minutes. 

Cool on a cooling rack and serve!
