I attempted my dupe of an Amish hand pie. Taste was BOMB, but it was a bit more work than I wanted it to be LOL. Preheat the oven to 425. Take a can apple pie filling (21oz.) and chopped the apples into smaller chunks. I added some more sugar and cinnamon and mixed itContinue reading “Apple Hand Pies”

Shrimp Cheung Fun
Shrimp Cheung Fun is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, item to order when at a dim sum restaurant.
