All this talk of pie had me craving a piece of apple pie. Since I like portable eats, I made pie pockets.

I've never attempted any type of fruit pie before. . . so I cheated! It took under 45 minutes from craving to consuming this most pleasant treat!

Feel free to make delicious flaky crusts and unique pie fillings from scratch.

Step 1: Cheating Ingredients

The ingredients I used are:

2 Pre-made rolled Pie Crusts

1 21oz. can of Pie Filling (apple in this case)

Flour

Supplies:

Cookie Sheet

Parchment Paper

Pizza Cutter

Fork

Knife

Step 2: Crusts

Lightly dust the work surface with flour.

Unroll first one pie dough. Stack the other atop the first and line up the edges.

Use a pizza cutter to cut the pie dough into 8 equal pieces.

Step 3: Filling

I found the pieces of apple in my canned pie filling were too large to comfortably fit the triangle dough. I cubed the slices of apple and it made for a much better fit.

If making your own filling, chop the fruit into small enough chunks.

Pull apart the two pieces of dough.

Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of one triangle and place the other on top.

Gently close the dough together, making sure to have a good seal.

Use a fork to pinch the sides together, this allows for a more uniform look.

Cut a few vent hole into the top, or the sign of Pi as I did.

Step 4: Pan

Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Place finished pie pockets onto the cookie sheet.

Bake at 450 degree for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
