Apple & Nuts + Chocolate & Nuts Mini Hand Pies – 2nd Blog Anniversary

 Time just flew by and I found myself stumbled at the door of my 2nd blog anniversary! Didn’t realize that it was that time of the year, that’s why stumbled ;). 
I panicked since I remembered it just last night. I panicked because I had nothing in my mind. I panicked because it just happened and I was not prepared. I thought of letting it go. But it’s my baby’s 2nd birthday, so couldn’t just let it go!

Thank Goodness that I had the galette dough that I had prepared this weekend and then forgot about it after putting it away in the refrigerator.  

 
Aanya loves apple pies and had been begging me since sometime to make some at home. I make the same kind of dough when I have to make either a pie or a tart or a galette.  

 
For those of you who are not aware of galettes, these are rustic tarts folded in an old fashioned way with hands, irrespective of their shape. I like the ease, charm and antique feel they bring to the table. Shruti of Cooking Diary by Shruti had blogged these mini apple galettes recently. Those inspired me to create the single serve portions, hence the mini versions instead of my Apple Galette that I blogged for Jhuls

 
No celebration is complete without Chocolates, so some were turned into Apple honey nuts mini galettes/tarts and some were transformed into dark chocolate and nuts mini galettes/tarts. Swooning over the aroma and textures and flavors of these exotic and highly exciting mini beauties!  

 
So a very happy 2nd Blog Anniveraary to simplvegetarian777 and let’s jump on to the recipe wagon!

   
 
Enjoy this weekend with these mini bites which are rich and indulging and oh so sinfully delicious!
Sonal

  12. Happy second blog birthday! Hope you have loads more. And your photos are looking great, BTW. Hey, what does the vinegar do to the pastry? Does it make it more flaky? I never see it used in pastry recipes over here. Going to try it the next time. 🙂
