Apple Pockets Food

WARM APPLE POCKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a bowl, toss apple slices together with sugar, flour, salt, apple pie spice, and vanilla extract until evenly coated.
• Lay pie dough flat on a lightly greased baking sheet. Pile apples on one side of dough, leaving a 1 inch border. Brush border and opposite half side of dough with milk. Fold dough over apples, being careful not to over-stuff or the dough will tear. Fold over edges and pinch together to seal. Cut several small slits in the top of the pocket with a sharp knife, then brush top with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until flakey and golden brown. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
• Slice each of the rolled pie crusts into quarters. You'll end up with 12 triangles, slightly rounded on one end. Set the pieces aside and make the filling.
• Add the flour and spices to the diced apples and mix to thoroughly combine, being sure all the apple pieces are coated.
• Mix the egg and water to create the egg wash.
• Take one dough triangle and brush the entire surface, lightly, with the egg watch.
• Add 2 - 3 Tablespoons of the apple filling to one side of the triangle.
• Sprinkle about 1 Tablespoon of the Kraft Caramel Bits over the apple filling.
• Fold the empty half of the dough over the filled side and seal all the edges by pressing them together with your fingers.
• Cut two or three decorative slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
• Brush the top of the pie pocket with a light coating of egg wash. Sprinkle with a little extra granulated sugar, if desired. I like the extra crispness and "shine" the sugar crystals create.
• Place on an ungreased baking sheet and repeat the steps with all the remaining pie crust triangles.
• Bake the pie pockets for 15 - 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Watch carefully in the last few minutes to prevent burning. You want them to be a beautiful golden brown, which was achieved in my oven after 17 minutes.
• Remove the pies from the oven and cool for 10 or 15 minutes before serving them.
• We actually loved them cold from the fridge, as well as warm.
