Cooking instruction summary:

Watch how to make this recipe. Pour the sugar and 1/2 cup of water into a small saucepot, trying to keep the sugar in the middle of the pot to avoid crystallization on the sides. Bring to a boil and cook until the syrup is thick and pecan brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the heavy cream, be careful because it will bubble up. Stir in the butter and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Punch out eight 4 1/2-inch circles from the pie dough. Toss the apples with 1/4 cup of the cooled caramel and the cinnamon. Brush the edges of the dough circles with beaten egg. Mound about 1 heaping tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half and crimp the edges with a fork. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Cut 2 small slits on top of each pie and bake on silicone-lined sheet pan until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Drizzle the hand pies with leftover caramel sauce and serve.

Food Joke

One Sunday morning George burst into the living room and said, "Dad! Mom! I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan. After dinner, George's dad took him aside, "Son, I have to talk with you. Look at your mother, George. She and I have been married 30 years, she's a wonderful wife and mother, but, she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot." "Susan is actually your half sister, and I'm afraid you can't marry her." George was brokenhearted. After eight months he eventually started dating girls again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Diane said yes! We're getting married in June." Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. "Diane is your half sister too, George." "I'm awfully sorry about this." George was livid! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news his father had shared. "Dad has done so much harm. I guess I'm never going to get married," he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half sister." "Hee hee," his mother chuckled, shaking her head, "Don't pay any attention to what he says. He's not really your father."
