  • Add egg and pulse a few times to combine.
  • Add heavy cream and pulse until mixture comes together.
  • Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • On a floured surface, roll dough out to a thickness of about 1/4".
  • Cut dough into 3"x4-1/2" rectangles.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place half of the rectangles on the the pan.
  • Spoon one tablespoon of apple pie filling onto the center of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2" border all the way around.
  • Lightly brush edges with egg wash.
  • Top with remaining rectangles.
  • Press the pastry together around the edges to seal.
  • Use a fork to ensure that the edges are sealed.
  • Poke holes in the top of each pastry with a fork.
  • Place in freezer for 20 minutes.
  • While pastries are resting, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove pastries from freezer and bake until light brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and place pastries on cooling racks.
  • Frosting
  • In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
  • Beat until smooth.

Notes

  • When you spoon the filling onto the pastry, leave 1/2" around the edges so that you can seal the pastry.
  • Gently press out the air pockets as you press the two pieces of pastry together.
  • Use a fork around the edges to ensure a good seal.
  • Use a fork to poke holes in the top so that it doesn't split open while cooking.
