Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat, then stir in chopped apple, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes until the apples soften and most liquid evaporates; cool the filling completely.
-
On a floured surface, roll out one pie crust to an 8x8-inch square, then cut into eight 2x4-inch rectangles; repeat with the second crust.
-
Place eight of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet and brush their surfaces with beaten egg.
-
Spoon the cooled apple filling onto the center of these rectangles, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
-
Cover with the remaining eight rectangles, crimp the edges with a fork, then brush with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar; prick the tops with a toothpick.
-
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until golden brown, then cool on a wire rack before eating.
