Cooking instruction summary:

Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse a few times to break them up.

Shape into a disk and cover in plastic wrap. Chill for a least 2 hours in the fridge. Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet.In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, flour, and crystalized ginger. On a generously floured surface, roll the dough out into a large circle about 1/4 inch thick. Use a 3-inch 4-inch round cutter to cut dough into rounds. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of apple mixture onto half of the circles. Brush edges lightly with the egg wash and then top with the other half of the dough circles and gently press to seal. Use the back of a fork to press a decorative edge around the pies. Cut vents into the top of each pie.Brush tops of hand pies with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until crust is slightly golden and filling is just starting to bubble through the vents. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Food Joke

Mother Teresa dies and of course goes directly to heaven. God greets her and asks her, "After you get familiar with this place, how about we have dinner together?" "I would love to eat dinner with you!" Later that evening they meet up for dinner and she takes a seat at the dining room table. God is in the kitchen and starts preparing a very simple meal: one can of tuna fish and some crackers. Through some cracks in the floor, Mother Teresa looks down at Hell; she sees fire and red hot flames with hundreds of thousands of people, and they are dining on lobster, fine wine, chocolate cakes, steaks, pancakes, row after row of fine food. Mother Teresa can't help but ask, "God, look at how they're eating down there. Shouldn't we be dining even better than Hell? You are just serving canned tuna and crackers..." God says, "Well, I figure since it's just the two of us, why cook?"
