How to Make Apple Pockets

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Defrost one sheet (14.1 oz) of puff pastry completely. Cover loosely with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
4. Peel and thinly slice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups). Add apples to the brown sugar mixture and toss to coat evenly.
5. Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 8 equal squares.
6. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture onto the center of 4 pastry squares.
7. Dot the apples with 1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter.
8. Top each with a remaining pastry square, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork, or use a little water to help seal.
9. Brush the tops of the pastries with 1 large egg, lightly beaten.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
11. Let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.
