Yes, this recipe is something kids can make, with a little adult help. The kids will need help cutting the apple and of course, using the oven but they get to assemble the hand pies and later eat them! This simple recipe makes 8 hand pies but this recipe is easily doubled, tripled, or more depending on the size of your gathering.

This recipe calls for 2 cups of tart baking apples peeled and chopped. Here is a list of the popular tart baking apples.

• Golden Delicious is a great baking apple. It is more sweet than tart and it retains its shape after baking.
• Cortland are slightly tart and somewhat sweet, a great all around baking apple.
• Granny Smith is crisp and sour, one of the most popular baking apples as it pairs well with sweet or warm spices. I always bake with Granny Smith apples.
• Honey Crisp holds firm when baked and has a more sweet than tart flavor.

I kept one of the pans here at home and I took the other one to church. I shared it with the volunteers serving with me in Kid’s Church. They all gave this recipe rave reviews. Several specifically mentioned how moist the cake was.
