Cheesy Chicken & Apple Hand Pies

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sheets puff pastry
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup sweet onion - chopped
  • 1/2 cup SugarBee® Apples - cubed
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage - chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded chicken breast
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese - shredded
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp water

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet and add the onion and apples. Cook, stirring often, for 4 - 6 minutes or until softened.
  • Stir in the sage and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Once cooled, stir in the chicken, cheese, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Thaw pastry dough according to package instructions until it's easy to roll out; not quite to room temperature.
  • Dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to about 10"x12" rectangle. Cut each sheet into 4 smaller rectangles.
  • Divide the mixture and spoon it onto 4 of the rectangles, leaving a 3/4" border all around.
  • Place another rectangle over top and use a fork to crimp and seal the filling within the puff pastry pocket. Cut 3- 4 slits on the top of the pastry and brush with egg wash (egg whisked with 1 teaspoon of water).
  • Place the filled pastry pocket on the prepared sheet pan and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
