Ooooookay, friends, do I have a delicious recipe for you! I have been dreaming up these hand pies for a couple of months now and finally got around to making them. Oh. My. Yum. They did not disappoint! I simply used the oh-so-versatile two ingredient dough but added a little spice to make a delicious base for these pastries. I stuffed the inside full of my zero point Ooey Gooey Microwave Apples and topped them off with a simple maple glaze. HELLO, heavenly combo! These are a really good size and they’re 2 Blue WW SmartPoints/3 Green WW SmartPoints, 139 calories, and fat free! #MindBlown
To start you’ll want to make a triple batch of my Ooey Gooey Apples. I diced them a little smaller than normal so I could fit as much as possible into these delicious pies.
Next up I made the dough with Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, and some cinnamon.
After about 25 minutes in the oven they will be golden brown and oozing with apple filling. I decided to make a simple maple glaze using a little sugar free syrup (I like Joseph’s Sugar Free syrup) and powdered sugar. If you don’t want maple flavor feel free to make a traditional glaze with powdered sugar and water OR skip the glaze entirely and sprinkle on a little sugar/brown sugar and cinnamon just before baking. Whatever you decide will be delicious!
These would great to make for a special weekend brunch or to meal prep for a week of breakfasts! Serve them with some scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage for a filling meal. They’d also be a wonderful dessert served hot and topped with a scoop of ice cream!
Each hand pie is 2 Blue WW SmartPoints/3 Green WW SmartPoints. Enjoy!
Click here for the Ooey Gooey Apples needed for this recipe.
- 1 cup Gold Medal Self-Rising Flour, 2 tbsp reserved and set aside for dusting
- ¾ cup plain fat free Greek yogurt (pour off any liquid that's on top before measuring)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 3 batches of my Ooey Gooey Microwave Apples, prepared (linked above)
- 1 tbsp sugar free maple syrup
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix together Greek yogurt, flour, and ½ tsp cinnamon- stir until well combined.
- Sprinkle a work surface with a little bit of the reserved flour and turn the dough out onto the surface. Knead well until the dough comes together into a nice ball. If the dough is sticky dust with flour and continue to knead.
- Cut the dough ball in half. Cut each half into three equal sections so that you have a total of six dough balls.
- Assemble pies: Dust surface with a little flour and press one of the dough balls into a flat circle. Flip the dough and dust with more flour, continue working the dough until you have formed a large flat circle, about 5-6 inches across. Use a small roller to help, if needed.
- On one half of the surface place a large scoop of the cooked apples. (I was able to get a heaping ¼ cup of apples per pie). Fold the top over the apples and carefully transfer to the payment paper.
- Dip the end of a fork into flour and crimp edges of the pie with the fork by pressing down on the seam and working your way around the pie. Use the fork to poke a couple of holes into the top of the pie.
- Repeat with remaining dough and apples until you have a total of 6 pies.
- Brush the top of the pies with the egg white.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes until golden brown.
- While the pies are cooling make the glaze by combining the syrup and powdered sugar. Drizzle glaze over the top of the pies (add a tiny splash of water if the consistency is too thick to drizzle). Enjoy!
NOTES:
The key to working with two ingredient dough is adding a dusting of flour anytime the dough starts to stick to your hands.
The dough is not sweet but the apples and glaze add the perfect amount of sweetness for me. If you'd like a sweeter dough you can try adding a packet of stevia (or sweetener of choice) but I'm not sure if this will affect the texture.
I'm sure you could cook these pies in an airfryer but I haven't tried it yet. I also think they would freeze well. (I'll update the recipe notes once I try these methods!)
