Warm, delectable, and aromatic – apple pockets are the perfect treat on a cold fall or winter day.
Ingredients
- 3 sweet apples — peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 (15 ounce) package prepared, unbaked pie crust, thawed
- milk
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
In a bowl, toss apple slices together with sugar, flour, salt, apple pie spice, and vanilla extract until evenly coated.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until flakey and golden brown. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! I really didn’t get a slice but the boys did and they said it was great! I called it hybrid because I used part or Melissas Fried apple Pie recipe too by using 4 apples and simmered them with spices and some water to help along. Used cornstarch to help thicken some. Is a keeper for sure.

My husband and I agree this really needed more sugar and wasn’t really as gooie as we like apple pie to be, but that is on a personal level. It turned out beautifully, nice shape and the aroma was incredible, the apple filling was good just not quite sweet enough for our tastes. Will probly try again and just alter a little. Thanks for the recipe.

Excellent for the little effort, but I think I’ll need to play around with the pastry and spices to get the texture and flavour to my liking, but I can see how this could be great. I am in NZ, so we don’t have pre-mixed apple pie spice or the same kind of bought pie pastry (not as good) , I used a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice.

This was pretty good. I used puff pastry cos that is what I had, so I ended up with a rectangular “pie”. This was very easy to make and the 40 mins to cook meant the apple cooked perfectly without needing any pre-cooking. I though putting liquid vanilla extract with the dry ingredients would be messy, so I used vanilla sugar, which I also sprinkled on top before baking. I used a milk wash instead of egg cos I can’t stand the waste when using an egg wash. Looked very pretty and tasted good, went well with custard.

I used a box of Pillsbury pie crust. Cutting each pie crust into quarters, I was able to make 8 pockets. I used an apple peeler, corer, slicer to prepare the apples. I did, however, find I needed to cut them into smaller pieces as I was making smaller pockets. I used cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice as my “apple pie spice”. Do not skip brushing with the egg mixture as that gave them a terrific shine. When I tasted the finished product my first thought, “not enough apple filling.” (You couldn’t fit more if you wanted to). My second thought, “this needs vanilla ice cream”. My 3rd thought, “Oh my, this is fantastic!”

This was a pretty good recipe. I didn’t have any apple pie spice on hand so I just mixed a little brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in. Used my own crust and added a little water to the egg. I also topped with cinnamon and sugar. It’s a cute idea and packed well for my husband to take to work. Could use a little lemon juice with the apple mixture. I may stick with apple pie filling recipe I usually use. Oh, I also used rice milk in place of reg milk, as my son and I can’t have dairy.

I made my crust from scratch and added a bit of sugar and cinnamon to to it and omitted the salt and only used cinnamon in the apple pie filling as I do not have apple pie spice. I also made a glaze for the top and added it after the pockets had cooled for a bit. so yummy! My oldest step-son who does not care for apple pie was begging me to make them again!

Excellent!!! I made this last years x-mas and it will be the desert for this years x-mas again! Everybody loved it…I would not change anything about it! I just took a little less sugar because we dont like it to sweet 🙂 This is a MUST to try!
Thank you so much for this recipe -

I didn’t have any apple pie spice so I just just a tsp of cinnamon and about 1/8 tsp of nutmeg. I also sprinkled granulated sugar on the outside after brushing with the egg. I always do this with apple pie and lunch the little extra it gives. This was very easy to make and quite tasty too!
