Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pie crusts onto a lightly floured surface.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the apples are evenly coated.
- 3
Cut each pie crust into 4 equal squares. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the apple mixture onto the center of each square.
- 4
Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of melted butter over the apple filling on each square.
- 5
Bring opposite corners of each square together over the filling, pinching firmly to seal and create a small, rustic pastry. Gently crimp the edges to ensure a tight seal.

Place the assembled pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of each pie with the beaten egg wash.
- 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

While the pies cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust milk for desired consistency.

Once pies have cooled slightly, drizzle generously with the prepared glaze. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Serve warm or at room temperature. These pies are best enjoyed the day they are made for optimal flakiness.
