Toasted Cream Cheese And Apple Pockets Recipes

WARM APPLE POCKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a bowl, toss apple slices together with sugar, flour, salt, apple pie spice, and vanilla extract until evenly coated.
• Lay pie dough flat on a lightly greased baking sheet. Pile apples on one side of dough, leaving a 1 inch border. Brush border and opposite half side of dough with milk. Fold dough over apples, being careful not to over-stuff or the dough will tear. Fold over edges and pinch together to seal. Cut several small slits in the top of the pocket with a sharp knife, then brush top with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until flakey and golden brown. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST POCKETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Mix the filling ingredients together in a small bowl until consistency is smooth. Chill 30 minutes.
• Roll each slice of bread flat with a mason jar or rolling pin.
• Put about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of a slice. Place another slice directly on top, as if you were making a sandwich.

• Using a wide-mouth mason jar lid or biscuit/cookie cutter, press firmly down on the sandwich and remove the crust around the lid.
• Use a knife to refine the edges of the circle. Gently release pocket from lid.
• Press down firmly on the outer edges of the pocket with a fork to make indentations.
• Repeat steps 3-8 for each pocket. Set pockets aside.
• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place baking rack on top of parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• Separately dip each pocket in egg mixture, flipping to ensure it gets entirely coated. Let excess drip off.
• Arrange 4 pockets on baking rack. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let cool 5-10 minutes.
• Garnish with powdered sugar and syrup.
• Enjoy!

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH APPLES

Steps:

• 1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine apples, 4 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener, and cinnamon. Cover and cook until apples are tender and juicy, about 6 minutes. Uncover, toss and set aside.
• 2. In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, walnuts, cherries, 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Put 4 slices bread on a cutting board and evenly spread with cream cheese mixture, about 1/4 cup per slice. Firmly press a second piece on top of each to form a sandwich.
• 3. In a shallow bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, remaining 1 teaspoon Truvia® natural sweetener and vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water skitters around the pan. Soak each sandwich in the milk mixture for 1 minute, turning once and pressing edges of bread together. Allow excess to drip off and place sandwiches in the hot skillet. Cook, turning once until browned and crisp on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve the French toast with the apples on top.
