Heart-shaped apple hand pies

Step 1

In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, sugar and cinnamon. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until soft. In small bowl, whisk together apple juice and cornstarch until smooth; stir into apples. Cook for 2 minutes, until thickened. Transfer to small bowl; let cool

Step 2

Unroll pie crust onto lightly floured surface. With 4-inch (10 cm) heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 6 hearts, placing heart points towards centre of crust. Repeat with remaining crust. Reroll scraps to cut 2 more hearts.

Step 3

Brush edge of each pastry with egg. On 7 of the hearts, spoon 2 to 3 tbsp (25 to 45 mL) of the cooled apple mixture in the centre. Place another heart on top of each (egg side down). Using floured fork, seal edges well. Lightly press top to move filling inside to the edges, if necessary. Transfer hearts to parchment-lined large baking sheet. Cut 3 small slits in the top of each. Brush with egg.

Step 4

Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on wire rack.
