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. Hand pies are best the day they are baked but will keep at room temperature for a few days.You can reheat the hand pies in a toaster oven set at 325 degree for just about 5 minutes.

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
