Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 package of pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)

- Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface and cut them into rectangles or circles.
- Place a spoonful of the apple mixture onto one half of each crust piece.
- Fold the crust over to create a pocket, and press the edges to seal (use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch).
- Mix the egg and milk together in a small bowl, and brush the mixture over each pie for a golden finish.
- Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
