Instructions
- Preheat oven to *375

- Cook until apples start to soften. Don't over-cook and let the apples get mushy. They will continue to soften in the oven when baking.
- Set aside and allow to cool.
- Roll out pie crust on well floured surface. Use a cookie cutter or trace around a small bowl, cup, etc to make 5in diameter circles.
- Place dough circles on cookie sheet. Using a teaspoon, top ½ of each circle with apple mixture.
- Fold each circle dough in half and press edges together to seal. Use a fork to make the cute fluted edges.
- Brush the top of each hand pies with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend.
- Slice the top to allow hand pies to vent. It's decorative and cute yes, but also prevents hand pies from puffing up into apple pillows.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Hand pies should be golden brown.
