- Blend the cream cheese and butter well together in the bowl of a stand mixer. 
- Combine the flour and salt and whisk well in a separate bowl. 
- Pour the flour mixture into the cream cheese mixture, using a dough hook blend in the flour until a mixed dough forms.  
- Place the dough in a bowl and cover with plastic.  Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. 
- Combine the apples with the raisins, cinnamon, allspice, and honey. Mix well with a spoon and make sure the apples are well coated with the spices and honey and set aside. 
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on a floured surface. 
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces.  I usually use a scale for this step. 
- Form these pieces into a ball.  Push down the ball on the floured surface and roll into a circular disc about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.  Try to roll this out as thin as you can, but still being able to form a cohesive ball that doesn't tear. 
- Place about 1 TBS of the apple filling into the middle of the flour circle. 
- Wet the edge of the circle and fold over the circle into a half moon shape. 
- Place the folded sealed pies on a parchment covered cookie sheet. 
- Cut 3 small slits in the top of the folded pie. 
- Mix the egg yolk and water and brush the top each of the pies 
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon well and sprinkle the top of the pies well.. 
- Bake at 425 degrees F for about 15 minutes, or when the pies turn a golden brown.
