This week I made Apple Hand Pies. I liked them very much. I followed the directions mostly to a tee, with a few extra changes. First of all, when I mixed the diced butter and flour, I had to hand mix it. Stirring wouldn't do anything, obviously, the electric mixer started to make a complete mess, and I did not have a food processor. However, hand mixing is not a bad choice. It ended up 'sandy' within just a few minutes. Also, I did not use any salt because the only butter in my house was salted butter. Also, the end results seemed plain, so I sprinkled cinnamon sugar and the rest of the apple filling on top of each one. I thought they tasted very good, especially the filing part.
The only changes I would make are rolling out the dough thinner, so that more are made and they wouldn't taste as doughy. Because the dough was kind of thickish for each one, I had to bake them longer and they did in fact, taste doughy (which I don't mind). Also, next time I need to close the ends better because some of the pies were slightly opened where they should be closed.
But yes, I think these were pretty successful! :)
