These little hand pies look so adorable in the picture in Dorie Greenspan's Baking Chez Moi. And it is a perfect time to bake them because apples are readily available in a great many varieties. As part of my participation with the Tuesdays with Dorie bakers, my goal is to bake and post every other Tuesday. I did bake them on Tuesday (yesterday), but here it is already Wednesday and I am only now beginning to write about it.
Let me say that there are only 3 pie-lets left of the dozen. And we didn't even eat them for dessert at dinner--it's just that every time someone passed by the kitchen, it was impossible not to grab a pie-let.
The dough was easy, although a little fussy to cut out since I was using make-shift cutters. I left out the raisins because I wanted to leave them out. I used two different apples: Northern Spy, my absolute apple pie apple, and Cortland. I'm sure to make these again!
These apple pielettes really were hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteI eat the last pielette for breakfast. They are good to go anywhere and anytime. I do agree they are a little fussy!
ReplyDeleteI gave most of them away (sharing the love) and the four I kept disappeared far too quickly! I used glasses to cut out mine - every time I do that, I remember that I want to get a proper set of cutters (then promptly forget). Your pielettes look great!
ReplyDeleteLove that you had only 3 left the next day- not surprised at all given how we plowed through them in this house ! And what a perfect time of year for this recipe. I also used make shift cutters and that added quite a bit of finagling time to what was likely a straightforward task if I had the correct round cutter :) Great job on your pielettes !
ReplyDeleteLooking tasty!! These were so fun to make! More fun to eat - and way too easy since you didn't need a plate!
