Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and cook until lightly browned and fragrant.
  2. Add apples, white sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes until apples begin to soften.
  3. Stir in cinnamon and a little water if needed. Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes until apples are soft and slightly sticky.
  4. Transfer the filling to a plate and allow it to cool.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Roll each piece of dough into an 8-inch circle on a floured surface.
  7. Spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup apple filling into the center of each circle.
  8. Fold the dough over the filling and press edges to seal.
  9. Fold and crimp the edges tightly using your fingers to secure the filling inside.
  10. Place pies onto the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Whisk egg and milk together, then brush over each pie. Sprinkle with sugar.
  12. Cut small vents in the top of each pie.
  13. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
  14. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
