Apple Pocket Pie

Now that I've learned to conquer my fear of baking pies, I bid rotten apples goodbye!

Dessert Pie Dough
2 cups APF
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp muscovado sugar
7 tbsp cold butter in cubes
7 tbsp cold milk (adjust based on desired flakiness)
1 pc egg yolk
1 pc egg white and 1 tbsp milk for pastry wash

Filling
1 large fuji apple, cut into tidbits
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp muscovado sugar
1 tbsp white sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp cornstarch

Picked up a technique in youtube to use a knife (she used 2, I paired it with my spatula) to slice and mix the butter into the flour.  didn't bother to use a mixing bowl, poured the flour and mixed salt, sugar on the silicon mat.  then added the butter.  made a crater to add the yolk and milk (by the tablespoon).   did not overworked my dough and used cling wrap then stored in the ref for an hour.
