Why This Recipe Stands Out
These hand pies combine the rich, chocolatey flavor of Oreos with the sweet, tart taste of apples. They are easy to hold and perfect for sharing. The flaky crust adds a nice texture that makes every bite deliciously satisfying.
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out one of the pie crusts on a clean surface and use a 4-inch round cutter to cut out nine circles, re-rolling the scraps as needed. Do the same with the second crust. Core the apples and slice them crosswise into nine rings. In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a little water. Lay nine pastry circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the edges of each circle with the egg wash, then top each one with an apple ring and an Oreo cookie. Place another pastry circle on top and press the edges gently to seal the pies. Crush the remaining Oreos finely and sprinkle the crumbs over the tops. Bake the pies for about 18 to 22 minutes until they’re golden and cooked through. Let them cool completely before dusting with a bit of sugar and serving.
