Yields 24 servings

8 refrigerator or homemade pie pastries
2 1/2 cups reconstituted dried apples
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar for crust topping

Grease 4 (8-inch) tart pans with vegetable oil.
Roll each pastry into a 9-inch circle. Fit half the pastries into prepared tart pans.
Mix reconstituted apples with sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread about 1/2 cup apple mixture about 1/4 inch thick in prepared pans. Top with remaining pastry, trimming and fluting edge. Prick tops with fork. Sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 15—20 minutes or until light brown and edges shrink from pans. Cool briefly.
Remove pies from pans, stacking on top of each other on serving plate.
To serve, cut a wedge through all layers of the pies. Eat by picking up one layer at a time. Thus, the name, a hand pie.
