Halloween themed hand pies.

*I'll be adding more photos later. Busy day ahead for Jerod's Welcome Home Party prep.

Since it is the month of October, I figured it was time to get more into the season. I love Halloween, my tattoos greatly reflect my love for the month, the love of everything scary, and very fun. These hand pies are extremely easy. It'd be kind of hard to mess them up! Get your favorite cookie cutters and have a field day. I followed a bit of her recipe, not much. Herriott Grace  -- I love her blog so much.

Pie dough:
2 cups flour
1 stick unsalted butter
1/4 salt
2 ounces ice cold water

Filling (I used):
2 gala apples
nutmeg
cinnamon
honey or sugar
4 tbsp lemon juice

Egg Wash:
1 egg
1 tbsp heavy cream

Add flour and salt together, make sure butter is cold and add to the flour, there will be clumps, so don't worry about it. Add ice cold water, gradually until flour becomes pie dough. It can be a bit crumbly, which is okay. Wrap the dough in clear wrap and chill for about 1 hour to 4 hours.

For the filling, I cut gala apples into tiny pieces, adding lemon juice, cinammon, nutmeg, and honey to my mixture. Set this to the side

Roll out dough and use any size cookie cutter you'd like. You need two pieces of dough for each pie. Fill the pie with whatever filling you decided to use and seal the ends shut. Add egg wash. Place finished pies onto greased foil and bake for 10-15 minutes. Cooking times vary, so take them out once they are golden brown.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! I got my cookie cutters from Walmart. I used a scared cat, ghosts, a coffin, and pumpkin. It also came with a bat and vampire teeth.
