Rustic pastry parcels oozing with gooey, gorgeous filling! The hand pie is a much-loved update on the humble slice. Take these beauties with you anywhere: to a potluck, to a picnic, even to school for lunch. They pack up nicely and delight all who hold them in the palms of their hands.

This recipe had me at apple-cinnamon. Is there a better spice for the tart, crisp apple? I think not! Apple-Cinnamon Hand Pies showcase this awesome flavour combination in perfect form. (Via The Blonde Buckeye).
