Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Stir apple, pear, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl.

  3. Roll pastry out on a lightly floured surface, cut into circles with a 3- to 4-inch round cookie cutter. Spoon a small amount of apple mixture onto center of each pastry circle, fold circles in half and press firmly to seal edges. Crimp with a fork, if desired. Place pies on prepared baking sheet.

  4. Cut 3 small slits in top of each hand pie with a sharp knife. Brush surface of pies with egg mixture, sprinkle with decorating sugar.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 25 minutes, allow pies to cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

  6. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle melted chocolate over pies.

Recipe Yield

16 3-inch pies

Recipe Note

Close your eyes when you take a bite of these and you can almost hear the crunch of leaves beneath your feet. These taste and smell like autumn, my favorite season. I like to add a drizzle of dark chocolate at the end;it makes them extra special!
