MAKE HALLOWEEN INSPIRED APPLE HAND PIES

Gather your cookie cutters and let’s have fun in the kitchen making Halloween hand pies! I used Honeycrisp and Tart Apple Slices!

HALLOWEEN APPLE HAND PIES

Ingredients:

4 store-bought pie crusts Note: (The number of pies depends on the size of your cutters. I used 3 different sizes)
4 cups Crunch Pak sweet or tart apple slices peeled. Note: I mixed both, 2 of each kind 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Sugar for sprinkling

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Lightly flour a flat surface to roll your dough. Use cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place the cut-out shapes on the baking sheets and transfer to refrigerator to chill.
In a large pot, combine apples, lemon juice, water, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl until all apples are coated with the mixture.
Bring to a boil on high heat, then turn to low and cover. Maintain a low simmer for 30 minutes or until the apples are completely soft and cooked through.
Once fully cooked, remove from heat. For a chunky apple filling, mash the apples in the pot. For a smooth apple filling, add to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth (if using a blender, work in batches and allow time to cool).
Remove cut-out dough from the fridge, distribute the apple filling between half of them. Make sure to leave room on the edges.
Place the other 1/2 on top of the cut-out dough shapes which contains the apple filling. Dampen the edges with water if needed and crimp the edges with a fork. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake pies for 18-20 minutes.

SET UP A FESTIVE HALLOWEEN KIDS TABLE

Setting up a festive Halloween table for the kids is a must! Make it spooky and fun with DIY party décor and adorable iridescent partyware!

I created spider balloons (inspired by Oh Happy Day’s giant spider balloon wand) and hung them from the ceiling over the kids table. I added my own spin by splattering my spider balloons with pink, metallic and orange paints. Look how cute they turned out!

MAKE SIMPLE PARTY SNACKS FUN FOR THE KIDS

Make snacks fun for the kids by jazzing up Crunch Pak’s Snack Medley. Turn their individual snack containers into mummies! Simply wrap the snack containers with gauze, add two googly eyes using craft glue and wrap them once again using stretchy spider web for extra spookiness!
