Easy Apple Pie Crescent Pockets

Step 1

Turn the oven on and preheat it to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the pastries do not stick.

Step 3

Wash the 2 apples well. Peel them if you want softer filling.

Step 4

Cut the apples into very small cubes (about the size of small dice).

Step 5

Place a medium saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to medium heat.

Step 6

Add the 2 tablespoons butter from the ingredient list into the saucepan.

Step 7

Let the butter melt completely, which usually takes about 30 seconds.

Step 8

Add the diced apples into the melted butter.

Step 9

Stir the apples slowly with a spoon so they are coated with the butter.

Step 10

Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract from the ingredient list into the pan.

Step 11

Stir everything together and cook the apples for 3–4 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 12

In a small bowl, mix the 1 tablespoon water and 1 teaspoon cornstarch until smooth.

Step 13

Pour this mixture into the apples and stir.

Step 14

Cook the apples for another 1–2 minutes until the filling thickens slightly.

Step 15

Turn the stove off and let the apple filling cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 16

Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangle pieces.

Step 17

Lay each triangle flat on the counter.

Step 18

Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the apple filling onto the wide end of each triangle.

Step 19

Roll the dough from the wide end toward the point, wrapping the apple filling inside.

Step 20

Place each rolled pocket onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 21

Bake the pockets in the oven for 12–15 minutes until they turn light golden brown.

Step 22

Carefully remove the baking tray from the oven.

Step 23

Let the apple pie pockets cool for 5 minutes before eating because the filling will be hot.

Step 24

If you like, sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving. Enjoy! ☺️
