Rustic Hand Pies

I had some leftover crusts and pie filling after making the pies in jars for teacher appreciation, so last night I made rustic little hand pies.  And how timely … did you know today is National Apple Pie Day?  I didn’t.

{Don’t you love the word rustic?  It’s like an excuse for imperfection.}

I divided the remaining dough into seven pieces {for the seven members of our family} …

… then rolled them out into something vaguely resembling a circle.

I put a dollop of pie filling {apple or peach} on each circle and added a sprinkle of cinnamon …

… then folded them in half, pinched the edges together, and pressed a fork around the edges.

They baked at 350 degrees for about ten minutes and came out flaky and golden.

It was a delicious dessert and my kids requested another batch right away.  This one was a hit at the homestead and I’m sure we’ll try a few variations in the weeks ahead.

    Visiting from Serenity Now…this is my kind of recipe…a little haphazard, a little “rustic” and a whole lot of yum!

    Thanks for sharing!
