A season for apple pies/hand pies!!!🥰 This one is a very easy version, no need to cook the apples in advance with this recipe. * The filling to stuff in there seems like a lot of amount but since it is not cooked yet, it'll get reduced down as it bakes in the oven. I highly recommend stuffing everything in there!

[@Racine85]

I’ve never made apple pies (any type) does the cheese give it a better taste?

[@dsan2020]

Update Comment: Can you make day ahead, freeze and bake frozen. Thank cannot wait to try these. Thank you…you are a great teacher. 😊 So I did make these. Definitely scale your ingredients as if you scoop you will probably have too much flour in the dough and it will be hard for the dough to come together. I did not use anymore water than the recipe says. Was a bit difficult to come together but it did. I did but the dough on table to only slightly blend together with hands. Rested in fridge for about 4 hours. A little time consuming making the little pies. Don’t cut the apple too large or chunky. Maybe a 1/4”. If you do not have a cookie cutter big enough look for a pot top. The only change I made to the recipe is I reduced the sugar to 65 g. Made up the pies as recipe says, wrapped tray with plastic bag, froze without the egg wash and sugar. Next morning took out as many pies as I wanted to bake, turned on the oven to pre-heat. By the time the oven pre heated I was then able to make cut vents with sharp pointed knife (dough slightly thawed), egg white wash and sugared. Bake 375 F for the 35 min to 40 min. They came out perfect. So yes you can freeze, take out as many as you want when required. Wrap tight what you did not cook. If you have company this would be nice to put in the oven while you are eating dinner. Nice, light and crispy as Aya said. Thank you. Hope this helps anyone else who would like to make this. Cheers..

I have made the pastry this afternoon with plans for tomorrow so I’m rewatching it so tomorrow morning I’ll know what to do but regarding the pastry it is sublime to make and I’ve made a similar pastry before and it called for larger pieces of butter to pepper the dough and that pastry was divine so I’m very excited about trying Aya’s recipe and I’ll make another post tomorrow regarding the end result of pastry turned into a apple hand pie and as the new season of apples are trickling into the shops what else is too make but apple hand pies 🥧 and apple pie yum Aussie gal is in the apple orchard picking yummy apples up in Bilpen and stopping by the fruit salad bowl ( it’s just a fancy name for a produce shop and cafe) the scones and cream and a hot cuppa tea ❤

[@familyjongs6874]

I did it!!!!❤ made it las night after bought my apples 3 weeks ago. Oh gosh! Anyone who doesn’t make this is missing the best piece of this Apple world! So so good especially the crust eventhough my wrapping techniques need lots of practice. Thank you Aya 🎉❤

[@susancollins9074]

Absolutely love you and this channel. I do have a question, with egg allergies can melted butter be used instead of the egg wash?

[@rashid_monochromerain930]

I made it and after a lot of my pie crust following recipes, this is by far my go to recipe! Will definitely make pie more using this recipe.

Thanks💕 Hope you'll enjoy!🤗

[@annchovy6]

This looks amazing. It reminds me of apple dumplings, which have basically half an apple wrapped in pastry. With an apple cider and rum sauce, it’s delicious. I’ll definitely make this next time I get some nice apples!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Warm apples and pies are magical😋🧡 Thank you!

Hello Aya! Your pies look very tasty. They are also beautiful. I don't know if I could make them like yours. I'm thinking of maybe trying anyway. I love Apple pies. ♥ From Montreal, Quebec, Canada. ♥

Thank you for watching from Quebec!😉 Beautiful city. You will get used to it with some practices!

My new best friend on KZbin!! Thank you Aya...your recipes are always spot on. This Apple Hand Pie turned out simply delicious!! Not intoxicatingly sweet..just right.❤

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I'm so glad!!❤️ Thank you for trying it and sharing the result.

[@ThatOneHetalian567]

They look so nice! I was just thinking I might do all different kinds of handpies this thanksgiving instead of traditional pies. I have never had apple pie with cheddar cheese, but I know it is a popular combination in some places. I will have to try it! Thanks for the great recipe as always 🙂

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

That sounds fun!😊 I did not add a lot of chedder this time, so the flavor is very subtle. You can add more if you want!

[@katalinaj3450]

I have been drooling and tried to make this for a week now. Got all the ingredients but not the time. Sighhhh! Got to make it! Yum!

Aya, what is the size of the cake ring? Thank you for metric measurements.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

It’s 12cm (4.7 inch) but you can use a different size as well!

[@Userapm3690]

Hi Aya!! Thank you for all the delicious recipes, your butter cake with rum was a smash hit with my family. Does the crust need any adjustments if i omit the cheese? It looked like you loosely measured one cup of grated cheese, so i wondered if the butter needs to be increased at all?

[@MG-qb6vb]

Those look and sound great. For some reason I had a dry and crumbly dough. Any tips? Also, mine were pale . I did an egg wash and baked them at 375 and the second time a little higher.

[@DiaDia18]

Very nice recipie Aya! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍏🍏🍏

I’d love to😊 Thank you.

[@delishuspear]

Hi Aya! Would you recommend the rolling pin you're using in this video? Are there any limitations to its use that you would caution against? Excited to try this recipe!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Hello! I use for all my baking. I got it in Japan a while ago at a store called Cuoca. They unfortunately don't sell it worldwide but you might be able to get a similar one online!

Hi, its apple season again. Can you post more apple baking ideas? Love all your videos

[@Meakamea]

Hi can you make a video of what kitchen appliances you use or recommendations? Christmas is coming I might get one 😊

Thanks for the suggestion! I would love to sometime soon🙏🏻

[@happylifecookingandcooking2244]

Very nice👍

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you!

[@callieblixrud1007]

If one were to freeze these, would you recommend thawing them completely before baking?

[@cheryl8466]

I have a question.. I've tried those square shaped pineapple cakes, that are made with cheese powder. Is that similar to what you get when adding cheddar cheese to pie dough? I feel like it would be.

[@lilyaalexandra6965]

Just wondering if u can share recipe of apple strudel..

[@TheNarrowGate101]

What do you think of using two forks to toss the oil in the flour BEFORE adding the butter?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

That works too!

[@estelleschneider9033]

Just wanting to know why do you add Cheese to your pie dough?

[@senatrottier8033]

Hello Aya! Can this be translated to small pie tins? This looks amazing!! I am definitely trying these for Thanksgiving.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Yes! Seal the edge really well since the filling tend to come out more with tins (Place tins on a tray with parchment paper so that the filling is not dripping in the oven!) All the other tips applies the same. - bake longer if you need to!😉

[@senatrottier8033]

@@PastryLivingwithAya Thank you!!

@@PastryLivingwithAya hi! I made it and my family loved it … we make empanada but I don’t like it deep fried so this is perfect to be bake. Thank you! Xx

[@katalinaj3450]

Questions - Can you put mixed up apples in strainer to drain the juice or the juice will keep coming out any how? I can also use Asian pears or regular pears right?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Less juice is coming out if you drain them but I personally like to add that for the taste! I should try with pears!🙂 It should work but you might want to adjust the amount of ingredients.

[@katalinaj3450]

Thank you for quick reply! WholeFood where I live has “Scarlett pie “ n fillings is combination of apple,pear, strawberries, fig n little nuts. Maybe too complicated for the little one but it’s awesome too. Will make yrs!🥰❤️🤩

Woo I’m curious with the fruits combination! A must try😋
