Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 Tablespoon water)

Preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar and flour. Mix until apples are thoroughly coated. Set aside.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of half of the pie circles. Make sure to leave enough of a border around the filling to seal them shut. Do not overfill!

Place a second dough circle on top each filled circle then use a fork to crimp the edges together.

Brush each pie with the egg wash, and cut two vents on the top of each pie with a sharp knife. Sprinkle the pies with crystal sanding sugar and place on prepared sheet pan.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Bake the pies for 15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
