Apple Pockets

http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Apple-Pockets
2¼ cup all purpose flour, divided
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick rise yeast
1 T sugar
1/2 t salt
2/3 cup of water
1/4 cup butter
Filling
4 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (2-3 medium)
1/3 cup sugar
2 T flour
1/2 t ground cinnamon
Topping
1/4 cup milk
4 t sugarDirections: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a saucepan, heat the water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to the dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough into four portions. Roll each portion into an 8-in. square. Cut into four 4-in. squares. Cut apple slices into thirds; toss with sugar, flour and cinnamon. Place 1/4 cup filling on each square; bring up the corners up over the filling and pinch to seal. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Place 3 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Brush with milk; sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 16 servings.
Can also be filled with a meat mixture and served as a main dish.

  1. This bread recipe is really yummy. I also made this one night with a hamburger, onion, diced potato mixture that was really good.
