Ingredients:

2 lg. green apples, peeled & cored
2 Tbsp. butter
1/4 Tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:
Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or you can use a silicone mat.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Let butter brown to a light golden color and until butter smells toasted usually about 1 minutes. Stir apples into hot butter, sprinkle with salt, white sugar, and brown sugar.
Cook and stir apple mixture until apples are softened about 5 minutes. Mix in cinnamon and water, continue cooking until apples are soft and sticky probably about 2 minutes.
Spread apple filling onto a plate to cool.
Preheat oven to 400º F.
Form a dough piece into a ball, place on floured work area, and roll into a circle about 8-inches in diameter. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup apple filling in the center. Fold dough over felling, leaving about 1-inch of dough on the bottom side visible below the top side. Gently press dough closed around filling using your fingertips.
Fold the overhanging bottom part of the dough up over the top edge, working your way around the crust, and pinch the overhanging tightly to the top part of the crust.
Crimp the edge tightly closed, can use a fork to crimp around the hand pie. Continue with remaining dough and filling.
Transfer pies onto a prepared baking sheet.
Whisk egg with milk in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Brus top of each hand pie with egg mixture and sprinkle with about 1/4 tsp. white sugar. Cut 3 small vent holes in the tip of each pie.
Bake in the preheated oven until pies are golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes. Can sprinkle with powdered sugar.
These are so great served with ice cream.
