Ingredients

• 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
• 2 pieces Apples (medium, peeled, cored, and diced)
• 200 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 piece Egg (beaten for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3

Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a clean, lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into three equal rectangles, yielding six total pieces.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on one half of each puff pastry rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Spoon the apple mixture over the cream cheese layer, dividing it equally among the six pieces.

Step 6

Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a sealed pocket, and press the edges firmly together with a fork to seal.

Step 7

Brush the top of each pocket with the beaten egg to create a shiny, golden finish during baking.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, make two small slits on the top of each pocket to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 9

Place the filled and sealed pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Step 11

Enjoy your Portable Apple Cheese Pleasers warm or at room temperature!
