The long and short of this post is that these were not worth the effort. I like alot of stuff from William Sonoma, and this was a cute idea. I had grand aspirations to make pocket pies in some form every week throughout the fall and winter. They would be great lunch and snack options for Drew. I thought I could make both sweet and savory versions.
They did come out looking nice...but they take forever to make!
I think the next time I want a pie I will just make a regular pie. I feel like, in this day and age, I am doing really well to make my own crust and my own pie from scratch. I guess I will just use the pocket pie tool I got as a cookie cutter from now on. Or I could use it to cut out stars to place on top of a regular pie. At least the tool was not too expesive...I got it on sale this summer. :)
I am proud of myself for at least attempting to make them. I also made my own filling - peach and apple. It would have been great except I used way too much lemon zest, so the sweetness of the peaches and apples was cancelled out by the zing of the lemon. Oh well, I consider myself a baker in training.
I also find taking risks in the kitchen to be helpful to me learning to try new things and responding in a more mature, healthy way to failure.
