Baking pie during the holidays or for a backyard cookout is a tradition — there’s even a pie for every season. But this summer, try something new with these fried apple hand pies. They’re portable and everyone gets a handheld piece of the pie.
While this dessert is best served fresh, if you don’t plan on entertaining 12 guests, these fried apple pies can be refrigerated and saved for later. Just make sure they’re stored in an airtight container.
This recipe is a multi-step process, but it’s definitely achievable for beginner bakers and what’s more rewarding than making an impressive dessert from scratch?
After perfecting the pastry and filling — which use common pantry staples like flour, salt and nutmeg — you should finish up with a glaze. Whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then dip the pies into the icing and let them set for about 15 minutes. After that, just put the pies into a container along with more of our picnic recipes perfect for your blanket and basket.
