- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons water (for filling)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine diced apples, raisins, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, unsalted butter, and water. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until apples are tender. Stir in flour and cook for an additional minute to thicken. Let cool.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut Pie Crusts: Roll out pie crusts and cut into 3.5 to 4-inch circles using a cookie cutter. Reroll scraps as needed.
- Assemble Hand Pies: Place a tablespoon of filling on half of each circle. Fold over to form crescents and crimp edges with a fork.
- Egg Wash and Bake: Whisk egg with water for egg wash; brush over pies and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool: Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
