Vegan Apple Hand Pies

Directions

1. 1
   To make the filling, in a saucepan, combine finely diced SweeTango apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, corn starch, and lemon juice and cook over medium heat until slightly softened, about 5-8 minutes (depending on your stove). The mixture will get kind of goopy as it cooks, which is good since we don’t want things to be too liquidy. Set aside to cool before filling the dough.
2. 2
   Preheat the oven to 325F.
3. 3
   Pinch the edges together and crimp with a fork, then brush with soy milk or aquafaba. Sprinkle a bit of coarse sugar on top for presentation/crunch. Cut in a couple vent holes in each pie (either an x or some decorative slits) and bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on your oven) until the edges and bottoms are golden.
