Spiced Apple Hand Pies with Cortney

In 2023 we’ll be doing pie a whole new way – EVERY MONTH!  Pie is all about practice and repetition and these classes are structured to help you feel more comfortable and confident with a variety of different methods of pie making.  Start your pie journey with us and make your pies the star of every event.  This is a hands-on class in our workshop style.  Each person will make 4 hand pies to take home (you may work on a filling together, but everyone will make their own crust).  Cortney will bake each featured pie for the month for us to all taste.

In this series we’ll take a deep dive into core pie techniques like Cookie Crusts, Butter Crust, Lard Crust, Lattice Work, Double Crust, Blind Baking, Crostadas/Galettes and Hand Pies.  Plus we’ll learn how to decorate with streusel, cut outs and stabilized whipped cream.  For fillings we’ll focus on the five main types of pie: Cream, Fruit, Nuts, Custard and No Bake.

For October and National Apple Month we’ll be making apple hand pies! Learn how to make a crust that can be formed into pocket pies, perfect for individual servings.  In this class we’ll learn how to make a cooked, spiced apple filling and an all butter crust.  Then Cortney will teach you different crimps to make your hand pies have a perfect finish.
