Ingredients
- Pie Dough – 1 box of store-bought puff pastry at room temperature.
- Fruit – Fresh is best but every fruit has its season. Frozen fruit can be substituted.
- Sugar – I use a combination of both white sugar and light brown sugar.
- Ground cinnamon
- Dash of salt
- Fresh lemon juice
- Cornstarch – Acts as a thickening agent
- Pure vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- All-purpose flour (to lightly dust the working area for pastry)
- Optional – decorative/coarse sugar
How To Make Fruit Pocket Pies
- Peel and dice the fresh peaches and mangoes. (1 cup per fruit) Recipe Tip: You will need approximately 3 ripe peaches and 2 mangoes depending on their size.
- Heat a medium pan over medium heat.
- Add the peaches, mango, sugars, cinnamon, pinch of salt, cornstarch, and fresh lemon juice.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.
- Reduce the heat to simmer and allow the fruit mixture to simmer for 5-6 minutes until thickened, occasionally stirring.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and allow the mixture to cool down. Recipe Tip: Place the fruit mixture in the fridge for 5 to 10 minutes to speed up the cooling process. You want the filling to be thicker so it doesn’t seep out of the edges of the pie when assembling.
- On a lightly floured surface (I use a large piece of parchment paper on the countertop), use a rolling pin and lightly press out one sheet of puff pastry into a slightly larger rectangle.
- Cut the pastry into 8 smaller rectangles, approximately 4×6 inches in size.
- Spoon a generous amount of the peach and mango filling onto one half of each pastry rectangle. Leave a small border around the edges for sealing.
- Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
- Lay the other half of the pastry over the filling, creating a rectangle.
- Use a fork to press the edges together around the rectangle and seal the pastry.
- In a small bowl whisk an egg and 1 tablespoon of water together.
- Brush the tops with the egg mixture.
- Optional – sprinkle with decorative/coarse sugar.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray.
- Working in batches as necessary, use a large pancake tuner and arrange the pies in a single layer in the basket of an air fryer.
- Cook at 350°F until golden brown.
- Transfer pies to a cooking rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
