APPLE + SHALLOT HAND PIES
These take a little time to make, but who doesn't LOVE finger food all wrapped up in a sweet shape that highlights the season you're currently in like these hand pies! I use hand pie molds and I've made these with cookie cutters just as easily, but the molds are a little bigger and easier to create an all-in-one pie.
The unique autumn flavors are fun to bring to party and wow your friends...plus a kids favorite and fun way to boost their immune system with shallots, but sweeten the bite with the freshness of the seasonal apple.
I use a basic dough recipe that can be easily doubled, and I have another hand pie recipe that is just as delicious...the savory autumn hand pie.
