Ingredients
- 2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup cubed Cheddar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- Vanilla ice cream, accompaniment
- Maple Glaze, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice. Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and toss to combine.
In a saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Cook apple mixture for 7 to 10 minutes until apple juices release and apples are slightly softened. Sprinkle flour over mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry sheet. With pizza wheel, cut pastry sheet into 6 squares.
Add the cubed cheese to cooled apple mixture. Divide the apple mixture in the center of each pastry square, leaving a 1-inch border along the long sides. Carefully fold into triangle shape; crimp the ends together with fork to seal, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to make an egg wash. With a pastry brush, lightly coat the outside of each square with the egg wash. Using a paring knife, make a vent in each triangle.
Bake until risen and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool slightly and drizzle with maple glaze. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on the side.
Maple Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 7 tablespoons maple syrup
Combine sugar and syrup until smooth.

These were a big hit among my friends!
I used Granny Smiths instead of the Golden Delicious and a REALLY sharp cheddar. I also went without the maple glaze by accident- but no one seemed to miss it.
They're pretty quick to make and the recipe is easy to follow.

I made these for New Years, and am making them again for a party this weekend. I've made hand pies in the past...the trick is to not overfill them and to make a good seal on the edges. Also, make sure you put vents in the top for the steam to get out (Kitchen shears do a good job of making quick neat lines. Often there is filling left over, so just get another sheet of puff pastry, or if you run out of filling, make a bit more. It does need tweaking if you have a heavier or lighter hand when you fill them, but they're definitely worth it!
