Method

Dough

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling

  1. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In another bowl, combine diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat and set aside.

Candied Walnuts

  1. 3

    Prepare Candied Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sugar. Add walnuts and cinnamon, stirring until the walnuts are evenly coated and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 4

    Assemble and Bake

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut into circles. Place a spoonful of apple filling on one half of each circle, and top with a few candied walnuts. Fold the other half over and crimp the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Allow hand pies to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side.
