Super Easy Pocket Pies

Have you checked out my new review for MexAmerica Foods? Yes the products I shared in the review could and would make everything you eat from meals to snacks and desserts yummy I just found a delicious recipe that would be great to pack in school or work lunches or enjoy as a dessert or snack at home.


4 – 8 inch uncooked flour tortillas
2 apples – you need about 1/2 apple for each pie
2 – 3 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Tablespoon Flour
1 – 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
Cinnamon
Nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If you don’t want to have to scrub your cookie sheet, lay a piece of aluminum foil on it. I used a cookie sheet with sides, just in case the juice seeped out. Arrange flour tortillas on the cookie sheet so there is one on each side.  Peel and slice the apples, putting half an apple on each tortilla half.

Use the lid from the lemon bottle to sprinkle about half a capful of lemon juice over the apple slices in each tortilla. Mix the flour and sugar together and sprinkle about 1/4 of it over each apple pile. You can use more sugar if you like yours sweeter. This amount of sugar will make the pocket pies slightly tart. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. We like lots of cinnamon. Wet your fingertips and rub them around the bottom edge of half of one tortilla. Fold the top half of the tortilla over so the edges match and press them together.

Using a fork, press deeply all the way around the edge of the pie, so the edge is well sealed.

Cut a few slashes in the top of the pie to release steam. This keeps the edges from pulling apart and spilling out the juice. I made 5 slashes in each one.

Dampen the top of the crust with a bit of water and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top. Bake 10 minutes. Turn the pan around in the oven and bake another 10 minutes until golden brown.
