Sausage and Sage Hand Pies

1 small onion, finely chopped
2 lbs. bulk sausage (flavored with sage)
3 tbsp. butter
2 medium baking potatoes, boiled, peeled, chopped
2 medium baking apples, peeled, chopped
3 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Pillsbury all-ready pie dough
1 egg for brushing on pastry before baking

Saute onion and sausage in the butter in a skillet for 10 minutes or until browned.
Add the potatoes and apples. Sprinkle with the flour. Cook for 2 more minutes.
Stir in the brown sugar, salt and pepper; remove from heat.
Roll out pie crusts and cut into 2" circles with biscuit cutter or drinking glass.
Place a heaping spoonful of mixture on the pastry circle. Fold into a semicircle, pressing the edge to seal. Crimp the edges with the tines of a fork. Brush the surface with egg wash. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
