Dulce de Leche Apple Hand Pies

Welcome to Pie Week!  Pie Week is the mastermind of Audra and Brandy.  It actually started on Monday, but I had something else going on, so I couldn’t join in the fun.  We have giveaways each day, and lots of pie!  Seriously, can you get better than free stuff and pie?  I didn’t think so!  Today’s prizes (yes, there is more than one) are from OXO and Le Creuset – a total of 4 winners!  So make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom to enter, and check out all the other great pies.

What do you have for dessert on Thanksgiving?  My family always has this pumpkin pie.  Depending on the number of people that will be there, sometimes we have a second dessert.  I am all about the second dessert.  Last year I made a pumpkin dream cake that was over the top good!  I am not exactly sure what to do for the second dessert this year, but it just might be these dulce de leche apple hand pies.  Have you ever had dulce de leche and apples together?  It is like a match made in heaven!  If you aren’t familiar with dulce de leche, it is like a gooey caramel – so good!

You can buy dulce de leche in the store, or you can make it from scratch.  It is super easy to make, I followed this method from my friend Erin.  Does anyone else have problems slicing pies, or is just me?  I can not get a pretty slice of pie to save my life!  That is one of the reasons I love the hand pie – no slicing, single serve, and portable.  These little apple pies would be perfect to have a Thanksgiving.  You can even have them packaged up to send home with your guests!  Then everyone gets a little bit of leftovers to enjoy the next day.
