Ingredients

For the filling:

2 Granny Smith Apples
1 Red Apple
1/4 TSP Cinnamon powder
Cloves powder one pinch
3 TBSP Brown sugar

For the pies:

1 packet Pastry dough of any good brand
All-purpose flour for dusting, as needed
Egg 1 for egg wash

Instructions

Wash the apples. Peel, core and dice into small cubes.
Combine all stuffing ingredients with apple cubes, (like brown sugar, cinnamon powder, cloves powder) in a medium-size cooking pot and stew the apples over low heat. Cover and cook until soft.
Preheat the baking oven to 375°F (190°C).
Whisk together until combined and the mixture has become thick. Make sure no moisture/juice is left.
Lay the pastry out and flatten with a rolling pin so that it is about ¼-inch (6cm) thick throughout. (by using the best rolling pins for baking, you will achieve the perfect sheets for your homemade dough)
Cut the pastry sheets into squares or rectangles.
Spoon apple mixture onto one side of each square and turn the empty side over the filling so that it covers. Seal the edges. With the help of a fork, press edges.
Cut several small slits on top of each to allow steam to escape.
Brush the pies with a beaten egg. (or egg white only)
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm or cool. Enjoy!

Notes

~ Feel free to use any type of apple you’d like in this recipe. Granny Smith, Gala, Honeycrisps, etc.

~ If you are using any other apples instead of granny smith, then add 1 TBSP of lemon juice for the same sweet & sour taste.

~ For a special touch, brush water or egg white over tops of unbaked pockets and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon-sugar. Bake as directed.
