Mix 2 cups of flour and 2 sticks of butter in a bowl.

Use your hands to mix the butter into the flour until combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Wrap the dough in Saran Wrap and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about half an inch thick.

Cut the dough in half and spread apple butter on one half.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a square shape.

Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

Brush the top with milk for browning.

Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes until slightly golden brown.

Optional: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle pumpkin pie spice on top.

Make icing with powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and vanilla, then drizzle on top.
