APPLE HAND PIES

FAST, VEGETARIAN

While these hand pies are loaded with apples and cinnamon, this recipe is adaptable to suit any flavor craving—blueberry, strawberry, peach, or cherry. Make a few, or double (or triple!) the recipe to share with friends. And give them an extra fresh-from-the-fair flavor by adding a caramel square to each.
