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.

Wow! I loved how you didn’t waste the left overs, but enjoyed the rest with your family. I always make sure that when I make a baked good for someone, I make a batch for mine. Thanks for sharing with us 🙂

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!
