Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups Protein Flour Co. All-Purpose Protein Flour
  • ½ cup applesauce sweetened or unsweetened—adjust to preference
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or preferred sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 can of Apple pie filling sweetened or unsweetened—adjust flavor with cinnamon or sugar if desired

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) if baking. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, mix the protein flour, applesauce, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until a soft dough forms. Let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. If you have a tortilla press, line it with folded parchment paper and press each dough ball flat. (Alternatively, roll out each portion between two pieces of parchment paper.)
  • Add a spoonful of apple pie filling to one side of the flattened dough. Use the parchment paper to fold the dough over the filling, forming a half-moon shape.
  • Seal the edges with a fork to prevent leaking. If baking, cut 3 small slits across the top for steam to escape.
  • Transfer each pocket to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 18 minutes, or until golden brown. (If frying, do NOT cut slits—simply fry at 350°F for about 2½–3 minutes per side, until golden.)
  • Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and sugar after baking or frying. Optionally drizzle with icing or glaze for extra sweetness.
  • Enjoy warm—crispy outside, gooey inside!

Notes

  • You can customize sweetness using unsweetened applesauce or sugar-free pie filling.

  • For a bakery finish, brush tops with a little milk or melted butter before baking.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in an air fryer or toaster oven for crispness.
