Apple Hand Pies

These Apple Hand Pies are a welcome present for autumn. The leaves are falling, it is cooler and you can put your beloved knitted sweaters. This is one of my favorite season. It taste so good with vanilla ice cream, coconut cream/yogurt, a cup of coffee or tea.

If you like it super quick use puff pastry from the supermarket. If you look closely you`ll find good produced puff pastry products. Do you want to use that: follow the instruction below.

Sometimes I wonder how many are strongly opposed to finished products. There is now a wide selection of good products with very good ingredients. In primarily I love it to produce the things themselves. But every now and then when the time or the muse is missing, I use produced puff pastry. For a homemade puff pastry, I recommend this recipe from Izzy
For the filling you can also add nutmeg or vanilla.
