Easy Apple Pies That Kids Can Make

While I was waiting in the dentist office a few weeks ago I was thumbing through Parents magazine and found a recipe I knew my kids would want to try - Apple Pockets.

Yesterday my 9 year old made these completely on her own to take to her Grandparents house for their anniversary. Needless to say, they were a hit. The recipe makes 8-10 mini pies depending on the number of refrigerator biscuits in the package.

Ingredients

• 2 Golden Delicious apples
• 2 Tbs. sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• Flour for dusting
• 1 pkg. (7.5 oz.) refrigerated biscuits

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel apples; grate them into a medium bowl. IN a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Stir half of cinnamon sugar into grated apples.
2. Roll each biscuit to about a 5″ circle. Spoon apple mixture onto circles. Fold circles over and pinch edges to make half-moons. Place on a baking sheet.

3. Brush pies with water and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar. Bake 20 minutes.

We served these with vanilla ice cream and they were very good. The other bonus, is that when it comes to kids recipes, this one wasn’t even messy!
