Instructions

Apple Hand Pies

Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator to thaw while you make the filling.
Add the diced apples, Stella Artois Cidre, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and butter to a medium saucepan and heat over medium.
Once the sugar is melted, turn the heat up slightly so the mixture is simmering. Simmer for 10 minutes with the lid off.
Sprinkle the flour over the top of the mixture and stir for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Roll out the pie dough and cut out the circles using a 5" biscuit cutter (see note).
Move the dough circles to a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Add 1 tablespoon of the Apple mixture to the center of each circle.
Fold over and pinch the dough edges together. We fold over the edges to ensure a tight seal.
Pierce the top of each hand pie with a fork, to let the steam out.
Bake for 15-17 minutes.
Prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and milk together. Set aside.
Once the tops of the pies are golden brown, remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the glaze over each pie.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
* If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use the top of a large wine glass.

Ham and Smoked Gouda Crepes

Mix eggs, milk, Stella Artois Cidre and melted butter in a medium size bowl until fully combined.
Add flour, sugar and salt and combine until smooth.
Pre-heat a 9″ or 10″ non-stick skillet on medium heat.
Spray heated skillet with Cooking Spray or Olive Oil.
Scoop 1/3 cup of batter in skillet and swirl around until batter is slightly up the sides of the skillet and evenly spread.
Cook for about 1 minute, then flip.
Cook the second side for about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked crepes to a large plate. Repeat until you run out of batter.
To prepare the filling, slice the apple and cheese to your desired thickness.
Add the cheese to one side of the crepe followed by the apple and ham. Fold in half.
Return the crepe to the skillet and heat for approx. 2 minutes per side to melt the cheese.
Repeat until all the crepes have been prepared.
Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
* This recipe makes 8 crepes in a small skillet or 6 crepes in a large skillet. Play around with the amount of batter you use for thicker or thinner crepes.
