A quick lazy apple pie pockets recipe, when you feel like having apple pie without making the pastry dough. Serve it with a scoop of ice cream or vanilla cream. This recipe is for kids, who desire a quick dessert and you can choose the amount of sugar that comes in.

Apple Pie Pocket Ingredients

Granny apples: Granny apples are known to be on the sour side. Yet they have a crisp consistency and due to the sourness are ideal for apple pies, cobblers and other sweet dishes.. They don’t disintegrate and keep their shape and bite.

Brown sugar: Brown sugar gives those pockets more of a caramel taste, then white sugar.

Puff pastry: I used store bought puff pastry, since I wanted this to be a quick recipe. Making your own puff pastry will be time consuming, but result in a better quality product.

Raisins: There is not much to say about raisins. I like to soak mine with some vanilla essence and water to plump them up a little.

Butter: Use unsalted butter for your apple pie pockets, since you cannot control the salt content of the butter.

Ground Cinnamon: You are free to use any ground cinnamon you can find in the store.

Eggs: A tip of mine is to let the egg yolk be at room temperature. It will make is mix with the milk easier and brushing on the pastry won’t be a pain.

Raisins: Make sure to soak your raisins a little before adding them to your apples. When they plump up a little it will be a nice bite of sweetness.

Note: Some of you may not enjoy raisins or granny apples and instead you can use a different type of apple. Make sure to look for a firm cooking apple and one that doesn’t disintegrate. You can omit raisins and switch them out with cranberries or almond chips.
