Baked Apple Bowl Pies

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 egg separated
• 1 tablespoon water
• 8 baking apples small, such as granny smith, braeburn, or johnathan, cored and peeled
• 1 cup caramel ice cream topping
• 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 2 tablespoons butter cut into 8 small pieces
• 1 lemon cut in half
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon water

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For pastry, in a large bowl combine the flour, 3 Tbsp. sugar, and salt. Cut in 1/4 cup butter and shortening until pieces are pea-size. In a small bowl combine the milk, egg yolk, and 1 Tbsp. water. Add to flour mixture. Stir with a fork until combined. Gather and knead mixture gently until it forms a dough. Divide dough in half.
2. On a well-floured surface, roll each half of dough to an 8x8-inch square, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into four, 4-inch squares from each half of the dough. Cover and set pastry squares aside.
3. In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup caramel topping, hazelnuts, and apple pie spice. Place each apple in a 6-oz. ramekin or custard cup. Fill each apple center with caramel mixture. Dot each with 1 piece of butter. Squeeze lemon halves over apples. Lay a pastry square over each apple. Arrange dishes on a foil-lined baking sheet*. In a small bowl whisk together egg white and 1 tablespoon water. Brush over pastry and sprinkle each with additional sugar.
4. Bake for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden and apples are tender. Remove; let stand in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Serve warm with additional caramel sauce and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Scatter with fresh sage leaves, if desired.
