Cinnamon Sugar Pastry Pockets Recipes

SHEET PAN STUFFED PASTRY POCKETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to 9x12-inch (23x30-cm) rectangles. Set one pastry sheet aside and fold the other in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise twice, to form creases for 8 pockets. Unfold the pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the Strawberries 'n' Cream filling: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
• Make the Very Berry filling: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries, then add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix with a fork.
• Spoon the berry mixture over the center of 2 of the 8 rectangles.
• Use a spatula to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the banana slices.
• Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the strawberries.
• Place apples slices in the center of the remaining 2 rectangles, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Brush the egg wash over the pastry around the edges and between each filling, then top with the remaining puff pastry sheet. Use your fingers to press the pastry down around each filling. Once tightly pressed, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut out each pocket.
• Seal the outside edges with a fork. Poke the top of each pocket with a fork 3-4 times to ventilate. Brush the tops with egg wash.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and thick.
• Remove the pockets from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Decorate with the glaze, then serve immediately, or wrap in wax paper and freeze for up to a week. Reheat in the toaster oven.
• Enjoy!

SCRAMBLED-EGG AND SAUSAGE POCKET PASTRIES

Steps:

• Pulse both flours, sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse just until small pieces remain. Add 6 tablespoons ice water and pulse until dough just starts to clump together. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary.
• Turn dough out onto a clean work surface; divide in half. Wrap each half in plastic and press to form a flat rectangle. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, or freeze up to 1 month.
• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out each piece of dough into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together 6 eggs, milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, turning occasionally and breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan, reduce heat to medium, and add egg mixture. Cook, stirring, until eggs are soft and just set, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheese and chives, and stir in sausage. Let cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Transfer one rectangle of dough on parchment to a baking sheet. Arrange filling into nine 2 1/2-by-3 1/2-inch rectangles on dough (in a 3-by-3 grid), leaving a 1-inch border all around. Whisk remaining egg; brush borders between filling with egg wash. Top with remaining rectangle of dough. Using the sides of your hands, gently press dough to seal egg-wash grid. Using a pizza cutter, cut into 9 rectangles.
• Divide pockets between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Use a fork to score edges of each pastry. Brush tops with egg wash, then dock a few vents in top crusts with fork. Season with pepper. Refrigerate until firm, 15 minutes.
• Bake, rotating sheets once, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
