It’s apple season!!! Yayyyy! McIntosh and Granny Smith and Honeycrisps, oh my!
One of the things on my bucket list is to visit an apple orchard and pick my own apples. My home state doesn’t have any, sadly (orange groves and strawberry patches for miles, though), but one of these days I’m gonna get to one, and then my only problems will be which apples to eat first, and how to get them all home!
Of course, whipping up a batch of these Mini Cinnamon Apple Hand Pies will be the first thing I do when I get them there!
Cooking and baking with apples is one of my favorite fall activities (next to pumpkin carving and wearing furry boots). There is no recipe that an apple or two won’t enhance, from pie to pork chop.
And there’s no apple recipe that a little cinnamon doesn’t make more delicious, amirite?
Cinnamon and apples just go together, there’s no denying, and the combo is a fall favorite. I took one of the ultimate fall desserts – the apple pie – and shrunk it down to a hand pie perfect for snacking, and then pumped it full of spiced apple goodness.
These little guys are great for big and small hands alike, but I think the small one will appreciate them the most – no forks involved!
Although you might wanna keep a napkin or two handy, especially if you plan to eat them warm!
