Dessert Pastry Recipes
Crisp and Flaky Apple Orchard Pockets
1 package frozen puff pastry sheets (2)
2 (26 ounce) jars apricot halves, drained
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Thaw puff pastry for 30 minutes or according to directions on box.
Drain apricots and slice each half into thirds; set aside.
When pastry is thawed, put each sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll out
to extend each side by approximately 1/2 inch. Cut each sheet into eight
rectangles to make 16 total.
Fill bottom portion of each rectangle with 4-5 pieces of fruit; moisten sides
with a bit of water and pinch closed to form a square. Place pocket on a baking
sheet and sprinkle generously with sugar. Cut 3 slits in the top of each for the
steam to escape while baking.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown.
Servings: About 16 (can be served warm or cold)
