Ingredients

  • 1 box Chebe, all purpose baking mix
  • 1/3 c. unrefined coconut oil or organic butter
  • 1 large egg, free-range, organic
  • 1/3 c. water
  • 1 T. coconut sugar
  • 3-4 medium baking apples (Jonagold) filling
  • 1/4 c. coconut sugar filling
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon, organic filling
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice, not from concentrate filling
  • 2 T. water filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 395°.  Line a large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. Wash 3-4 apples. Peel, core, and slice apples.  You'll need approximately 3 cups of sliced apples.  Cut the thinly sliced apples in half.  Stir in lemon juice and set aside.

  3. In a medium sauce plan, add water, coconut sugar, cinnamon and apple slices. Cook on low heat to soften the apples.  Stir occasionally for the next 10-15 minutes.  (It really depends on the type of apple you used.) 

  4. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, chebe mix, egg, water and coconut sugar.  Mix together until the dough forms a nice ball.  You might need 1 more teaspoon of water, to form a nice ball that isn't crumbly or sticky.  If you get too sticky by accident, use tapioca flour on your hands to knead into the dough.

  5. Divide the dough into half.  From each half, divide it 3 times, leaving you with 6 even pieces.  Flatten each dough piece to form a small circle.  

  6. Scoop up approximately 2-4 T. of apple slice mixture onto one half of the circle.  Fold the circle over the apple mixture.  "Seal" the edges with a small fork. (Dessert forks work well.)

  7. Place the hand pies on the parchment paper.  Bake 18-20 minutes.  Remove from the oven and cool.  Enjoy warm or cold.  

  8. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.    They are best consumed within 1-2 days of baking.
