Decadent Apple Cinnamon Pastry Pockets with Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

- 1 sheet pie dough (enough for a 9-inch pie)
- 1 cup apple pie filling
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
- 1 egg yolk, heavy cream, or 2 tablespoons water (for sealing and glazing)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Pie Dough:
Roll out the pie dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, cut the sheet into 4 equal rectangles.

3. Prepare the Filling:
Place the apple pie filling in a bowl, and mix in the lemon juice. Ensure the apple pieces are evenly coated.

4. Fill the Pastry Pockets:
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the apple filling mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a border for sealing.

5. Seal the Pockets:
Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg yolk, heavy cream, or water. Fold the dough over the apple filling to create a pocket, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp and ensure a secure seal.

6. Apply the Glaze:
Lightly brush the tops of each pastry pocket with the remaining egg yolk, heavy cream, or water. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for added sweetness and texture.

7. Bake the Pastry Pockets:
Transfer the pastry pockets to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.

8. Cool and Serve:
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
