Apple Pie Pocket
What:
Apple Pie Pocket
Recipe by: Ed M
Why:
Because this is the easiest and quickest dessert I’ve seen. It tastes great and uses only four ingredients!
The Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 can of Apple Pie Filling
1 container of Pillsbury (or whatever brand you prefer) Biscuits
Cinnamon
Brown Sugar
Directions:
Take two of the raw biscuits, roll them out, squeezing them together so that it makes a 4″ x 4″ square
Take two more biscuits and do the same, one square will be the top, the other, the bottom
Take one of the squares and place it on a preheated sandwich maker, not dissimilar to the one pictured below:
Put a few apples from the can of apple pie filling on the square that is in the sandwich maker
Sprinkle however much cinnamon and brown sugar you’d like over the filling
Place the second square over the filling and squeeze together the bottom and top crusts
Close the sandwich maker and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the crust looks brown and done
Serve and enjoy!
Cost:
This recipe is about the cheapest dessert you can make. Since I didn’t buy the ingredients myself I don’t have an exact cost, but I’d ballpark it around $5 tops. In total we made 4 half pie pockets that were very tasty, so that would put the price per pie at around $1.25. Not bad for an apple pie dessert!
Review and Variations:
For Ed to come up with using the biscuits off the top of his head, I’d say this is a winner! It was very good and it took all of the work out of making an apple pie, but you still get a great apple pie flavor! Definitely worth trying out! You don’t need a sandwich maker to make this. Just follow the directions as listed above and cook according to the biscuit package directions, though you may have to knock a few minutes off the total time. Also, this is certainly not limited to apple pie filling. You can put whatever pie filling you’d like! Go for cherry filling, raspberry filling, any type! this is a great way to experiment what you like and get a good grasp of how your oven bakes at a certain temperature as this is important when baking in general! I hope you enjoy this one.
