This recipe comes from 
Bake with Anna Olson.  The pies were delicious.  I would make these again and try different fruit.

 1/2
                        teaspoon
                            vanilla extract
Directions
 Double Crust Fruit Pie Dough
- 
                        Combine the flour, sugar and salt together.  Add
 the oil and blend in using a pastry cutter, electric beaters or a mixer
 fitted with the paddle attachment, until the flour looks evenly crumbly
 in texture.
- 
                        Add the butter and cut in until rough and 
crumbly but small pieces of butter are still visible.  Stir the water 
and vinegar (or lemon juice, if using) together and add all at once to 
the flour mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together.  Shape 
the dough into 2 disks, wrap and chill until firm, at least an hour.
                Fruit Filling
- 
                        Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- 
                        Slice the chilled pie dough into 6 pieces and 
roll each out to a circle about 6-inches across and just under ¼-inch 
thick.  Use a 6-inch round cookie cutter to trim away the rough edges on
 each.
- 
                        Use a fork to combine the raspberries, apple, 
sugar and cinnamon, gently crushing the raspberries a little as you mix.
- 
                        Spoon the raspberry filling, dividing evenly, 
onto each of the rolled pie dough circles.  Brush the outside edge half 
way around with a little of the egg wash and fold in half.  Pinch the 
edges of each hand pie in the same style as you would the edge of a 
traditional pie, fluting the edges.  Place these on the prepared baking 
tray, brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar.  
Snip a few holes into the pies with a pair of scissors, so the steam can
 escape.
- 
                        Bake the hand pies for about 25 minutes, until 
the pie dough is a rich golden brown.  Cool the pies before glazing.
                Glaze
- 
                        For the glaze, whisk the icing sugar, milk (or 
water) and vanilla together until smooth and still fluid (adjust 
consistency by adding more icing sugar or liquid, if needed) and using a
 fork drizzle the glaze over the pies.  Let the glaze set for at least 
an hour before serving.
