Apple Ginger Pie Pops

I found this apple pie pop recipe online and thought it would be fun to make.  I am so excited about how well the crust turned out and the filling.  This is an awesome recipe!  I wanted to make heart shaped one because they looked so cute.  Unfortunately I did not have a large shaped heart cookie cutter.  I modified it a little by adding crystallized ginger yum!  This will be another family favorite recipe:http://shopgirlmaria.blogspot.com/2011/11/ten-days-of-apples-day-6-cute-factor.html .

Step 1 Ingredients

PIE DOUGH:
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and diced
1/8 cup to 1/4 cup (depending on how much you need) ice water
*You will also need 1 egg white and some water or heavy cream/milk to brush the tops of these before baking.

FILLING:
2 apples, peeled, cored and very finely chopped
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
*OR* If you are short on time, you could always use canned apple pie filling!

How much water and flour did you end up adding? <3

[sunshiine]

I did not measure the liquid but it was less than 1/4 cup. I added about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of flour. Start adding a little at a time because climate can make a difference. If I had my blender available I would have blended a cup or so of the apples and then mixed that with the chopped apples. I might have added more lemon juice to it as well. I think that would have made it about right. If you go to her link that I have listed on the first page you can see what her apple mixture looks like. I read and re-read her recipe and did not see where she added anything to the apple mixture that would have given it the same texture. I am going to work with this recipe more and carefully measure the ingredients. I am very happy with these pops but this recipe is one that can be experimented with and make some really good stuff.

Just a question, how far into the dough should I place the skewer/stick thing? Just curious, I don't want people biting into a stick, yet the pies falling off of the stick. <3

I will be adding more pictures to my Instructables after the pie contest, which will show more detail. I centered them and stuck them about halfway. . These pops are not messy so I usually just remove them from the stick and eat it like a cookie. I am hoping to try some more methods in the next day or so. I have a lot more ideas for this recipe! Again thanks for commenting!

I really hope that this is an easy recipe because I surely plan to try to bake some of these! <3

Pies are not usually something I like to tackle BUT these really were easy! I have only made 2 fantastic pie crust in my life. For the last 10 years I have used a recipe from a chef cookbook and the method takes forever! This pie crust was a snap! The results were just as good as my other recipe. I really doubt I will use my older recipe any more. I will also be making more pies! Thanks for commenting and have a great day!
