Happy Pie Day! I love days that are dedicated to food. International Coffee day is probably my favourite and on my birthday October 1st.

Did you read my pie round-up post? I loved that everyone enjoyed this post! I listed so many pie recipes and they all made me so hungry. If you haven’t read it, click here!

This recipe is creamy, sweet, flaky and has a crunch! I actually don’t eat a lot of apples unless I crave apples and peanut butter. I know that some cultures don’t favour sweet pies and I was super intrigued to find that out in my last post. I haven’t really had any savoury pies so I’m interested to try that out soon! The only savoury pies that I’ve had are chicken pot pie and shepherd’s pie which I love adore. Both these are perfect comfort meals and I always turn to them especially around Fall every year.

This isn’t completely original as I got the inspiration from Tasty’s 4 Ingredient Berries & Cream Hand Pies. I’d say 100% Tasty and Pinterest are my main sources of recipe inspiration!

I love this recipe as it is so easy and such a perfect treat/snack! I love apple pies and can seriously scarf them down like nobody’s business! My favourite pie has definitely got to be banana cream pie and pumpkin pie is my second fav.

As always, I love creating recipes that are easy and accessible for most. I find that simple cooking is so enjoyable and especially when you’re a new cook, it’s just an nice and proud feeling to cook something yourself from scratch instead of constantly getting take out!

What pie are you enjoying today?

HERE IS HOW TO MAKE Apple Cream Cheese Hand Pies:

WHERE CAN I FIND THESE INGREDIENTS?

I found all the ingredients at my local grocery store. I used canned pie filling in this one but you can of course, use fresh apples though some areas of the world don’t have apples readily available for a cheaper cost. You can definitely make your own pie crust recipe if the ready-made one isn’t available in stores but I like the easy way out with pastries sometimes haha!

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR THESE APPLE CREAM CHEESE HAND PIES?

  • Apple Pie Filling
  • Ready Made Pie Crust
  • Cinnamon Sugar
  • Egg for egg wash
  • Cream Cheese

Some materials I used are a cookie cutter for the circular pie shapes, baking sheets and a fork to close the edges!

CAN I SUB ANYTHING OUT?

You can definitely use any fruit you’d like! This recipe was inspired by Tasty’s 4 Ingredient Berries & Cream Hand Pies so you can use berries, cherries, peaches even caramel or pumpkin! I think that only thing you can really sub the pie crust with is phyllo pastry or egg roll wrapper!

WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?

This recipe is just a plain apple pie with a creamy edition to it! It reminds me of Fall but luckily this snack is yummy and quick all year round! Basically, this is a twist on a classic.

  5. Apple ? pie is a great healthy snack, especially considering its combination with cream cheese. It looks so delicious and a recipe to try!

  9. They look DELICIOUS. Not a combination I would have thought of but I imagine it’s really nice. A good recipe to practice my pastry too.

  11. These look so tasty! Can’t wait to try the recipe!

  14. Yes! My partner and I just realized it was pi day, and then I saw this post a few minutes later! My home state is a huge producer of apples so I’ve always had a soft spot for apple pie. I’ve never had it with cream cheese though, sounds amazing!

  15. Oh my gosh…this sounds delicious! Bookmarking to try soon. ? Thank you for sharing!

  17. I am not a massive fan of apple pies (for some reason) but my grandparents LOVE them and we are always taking shop bought ones round to them and I think they would appreciate some good homemade apple pies! Great recipe hun xx

  18. Wow Lynn this sounds amazing- and definitely my kind of thing! Thank you for sharing this recipe, I think it adds a little something to a normal pie recipe idea x

  20. I miss apples SO BADLY. Having an allergy to them is just dreadful because they’ve always been one of my favorite fruits. And I miss apple pies like crazy. But I could probably do this with pear or any of the other fruits you mentioned and they’d be equally delicious. I’ll have to try this soon!

  21. Ooooo this looks so yummy and only 4 ingredients!!!! This is a win for me!!! I hate recipes that calls for a million ingredients.. I get tired just looking at the list and end up changing my mind lol… I have to add this to my collection of baked goods to make when I start vacation in 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing.

  22. They look absolutely delicious! I miss pastry so much, the GF stuff just isn’t the same. x

  24. I’m not a huge fan of those pastries but these look very lush.

  25. Apple pie + cream cheese = heaven in my mouth haha

    I love pi day, a big nerd about it haha. I remember pre-covid, when we would bring pie to campus during pi day, but sadly everythings online right now. Apple pie and vanilla ice cream is a favorite, but I think it may clash with the cream cheese. However, at least this way I know what’s going into my pie. And it seems so easy, only a few ingredients. I’ve only made pumpkin pie before, so I’m excited to see how this one goes. Now I’m craving some apple pie!

  26. Okay 1) these look amazing and I’m a sucker for a good apple pie and 2) ONLY HALF AN HOUR OF PREP AND COOK TIME? Say less, I’m definitely going to be attempting these next weekend!!!

  27. You’ve been making my mouth water lately with all your yummy recipes! Another one that looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  30. Wow! These look delicious! I may have to give making these a go soon! ❤️

  31. These look absolutely delicious! I’m definitely saving this recipe for future use 🙂

  32. Addictively easy to make and mouthwatering! I love the idea of putting these on a cheese board or having with wine, as well as just having them on hand for a snack.
    Thanks for sharing!

    1. These look so delicious!!

      I didn’t bake a pie this year for ? day, but it sounds like these are easy to made, so I’ll give it a go this weekend!!

      I don’t think there’s canned pie filling in Germany, so I’ll replace that with some homemade filling.

      Also, I will replace the x on top with a ? – perfect for a belated ? appreciation!!

      Thank you for sharing this recipe, I look forward to eating some tiny pies 🙂
