Cinnamon Roll Apple Hand Pies

1 package of store-bought cinnamon rolls

5 sad apples, peeled, cored and finely diced

1 dash kosher salt

Juice of half a lemon

¾ tsp cinnamon

¼ tbsp nutmeg

3 tbsp sugar

3 tbsp butter

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp cream

Preheat oven to 350˚.

In a bowl, toss the apples with salt, spices, sugar and let the apples macerate for up to 30 minutes.

In a saucepan, melt the butter, and add the apple mixture. Cook until apples have softened and cooked down. Add the cornstarch and take off the heat.

On a floured surface, roll each of the cinnamon rolls to about 1/8th thick. Spoon some of the apple mixtures at the center of half the circles. Place an unfilled circle on top of the filled ones, and press the edges with your fingers to seal.
Place the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush tops with the cream. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
