Cranberry Apple Hand Pies
Imagine a warm golden brown puff pastry filled with savory cranberry sauce, gooey brie cheese, and crisp apples; sounds perfect, right? Cranberry Apple Hand Pies are perfect for family get-togethers, holidays, or even when you want a sweet and savory treat on the go.
Servings: 6 hand pies
Calories: 600kcal
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup homemade cranberry sauce
- 6 ounces brie cheese, thinly sliced
- 1/2 apple, thinly sliced
- flakey salt
Instructions
- Roll out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface (I got 6 large hand pies from 2 sheets), cut into 12, 4×5 inch rectangles, brush the edges of half the pastry squares with an egg wash (one egg, lightly whisked).
- Fill the centers with 1-2 pieces of thinly sliced brie, 1-2 pieces of thinly sliced apple, and 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce, place the other half of your puff pastry rectangle overtop each, press down around the edges with your fingers to seal, crimp them with a fork, brush the tops generously with the remaining egg wash, sprinkle with flakey salt, then poke a few holes in the top with a fork (to let steam escape).
- On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until they are browned to your liking. I like mine extra crispy! Let the hand pies cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- I recommend using 4 sheets of puff pastry to make 12 hand pies so you don't have any left over apple or cheese.
- Using puff pastry that comes floured is my personal preference. I find it easier to work with.
