Step 1

Place peeled apples in a medium sized non stick pot set over medium high heat.

Step 2

Step 4

Once there is no liquid in the pot add vanilla and stir to coat.

Step 5

Add brown sugar to the pot, stir and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle cornstarch and mix immediately.

Step 7

Cook for 2 more minutes.

Step 8

Turn off heat and set aside to allow mixture to cool completely.

Step 9

preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 10

Cut pie dough into 6 inch by 2 inch size rectangles.

Step 11

Use a brush to place a very small amount of egg on the borders of only half the rectangle.

Step 12

Place 1 heaping tbsp of apple mixture in the first 1/3 of the rectangle.

Step 13

Fold the rectangle in half so that the apple mixture is completely covered.

Step 14

Use a for to press the edges of the dough together.

Step 15

Brush the tops with egg and a very gentle sprinkling of sugar.

Step 16

Bake for 14-18 minutes until cooked and golden.

Step 17
