Miniature hand pies filled with apples, spices, and gouda cheese. A Surprisingly delicious combination!
Let’s talk about these tasty little apple Gouda hand pies!
A few years ago I was sitting in a class at culinary school, though I don’t remember which class and I don’t remember what we were discussing. But somebody at some point said three words together in passing that have been residing in my brain ever since— apples, Gouda cheese, and puff pastry.
I finally got around to trying that combination last year and served them as part of my Project Food Blog dinner party [2]. They were a huge hit and I’m kicking myself for waiting a whole year to make them again and share them with you.
This time I used some leftover pie crust dough I had in the freezer, and I actually preferred it over the puff pastry, though both ways are great. Other cheeses like cheddar would be great too, they are quite adaptable. And if the idea of cheese along with your apple pie is off-putting, consider trying them anyway. The cheese adds a mysterious creaminess and wonderful richness of flavor without being overbearing.
These little pies are perfect for popping, and their small size makes them almost impossible to resist. So consider yourself warned, they won’t last long.
