I think by now you know that many of my recipes come from my local grocery store, Publix. I love them. Publix has a service called “Apron’s Simple Meals” and it is all part of a kiosk where chefs will make recipes and allow you to taste them and then all the ingredients, and I do mean ALL the ingredients are pulled together in a cooler case right behind the chef. The recipe is there as well, and let’s just say, it all makes me very happy…..as does this Blueberry Pouch Pie! 

 Ingredients:

• 
  2 prepared pie crusts
  1 Granny Smith apple (rinsed)
  1 lemon (for juice, rinsed)
  1 (21-ounce) can blueberry (or peach) pie filling
  ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  nonstick aluminum foil
  1 tablespoon butter
  1 teaspoon turbinado (raw) sugar

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove pie crusts from package and let stand 4-5 minutes. Peel and core apples; cut (or dice) into small pieces and place in medium bowl. Squeeze juice of lemon over apple; stir until evenly coated.

Stir in pie filling and allspice until well blended.

2) Place 2 (10 x 12 inch) nonstick foil sheets on work surface. Unroll crusts over foil sheets. Pour half of filling into center of each pie crust. Fold edge of pie crust toward center, over filling.

Work clockwise around the edge of pie crust, overlapping folds, and leaving about 2-3 inches open in the center. Repeat with second pie. Gently transfer pies (on foil) to baking sheet. 

3) Place butter in small microwave-safe bowl; microwave on HIGH 20-30 seconds or until butter melts. Brush crusts with butter; sprinkle with sugar. Bake pies 25 – 30 minutes or until tops are golden.

4) Transfer pies (on foil) to wire cooling rack. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. (Makes 12 servings) Or 2 servings, wink wink!!

Shari, I made the Blueberry Pouch Pie. It is so simple and so-o-o good! I have to take one of them to work or I will eat them both.

Shari,
I made your pouch pie for my family. It was a big hit. We also found out that its better warm so the next day we put a slice in the microwave to heat and then added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Needless to say my family had no problem eating both of them............
