13 Reviews of Hot Pocket and Fried Pie Dough

Thanks for a pastry that comes close to "like Mama used to make." It works well for all sorts of pies — fruit, meat, combinations — but for me those made with dried apricots are hard to beat. I cut down of some of the time-consuming tasks by making triangular pies instead of semi-circular ones. No where is it carved in stone that they have to be semi-circular! I roll all of the dough into one big rectangle, then cut the size squares you desire, add the filling to the center, wet the edges (water works fine,) fold one corner to the opposite corner, then seal with a fork. Knead the trimmings together and roll into a rectangle for additional pastries. This does save a little time without affecting the taste.

We had a LOT of left over ham from (early) Christmas dinner, so I decided to make ham and cheese hot pockets to throw in the freezer. This dough was great! Hubby really liked it, and they will make really fantastic quick lunches for us! Thanks.

Oh my, these are very good! I halved the recipe and made 3 pizza pockets and 3 apple pies. I should have made the whole recipe, but thank goodness I didn't because I'd have trouble not eating all of them! My kids really liked the pizza pockets. To make the pizza pockets, I fried for a couple minutes and then baked them for about five minutes to crispen up the crust and to make sure the cheese was melted.

Oh. My. Gawd. Kill me now. Tom made these last night with some homemade apple pie filling stuff. This was FABULOUS! The dough comes out so light and fluffy. I'm scared to save this recipe - my waistline can't handle it! - Candy

OMG!!! WOW I made these this morning; half recipe, and substituted butter for the crisco. They were amazing, and easy to make. I made eight from the half recipe. I use ham and cheese, apricot preserves and blackberry preserves. they put any commercially prepared hot pockets to shame. Crust was light, tender, and delicious. Thank You So Much for this recipe. My kids are still sleeping, but they are in for a treat when they wake up.

This recipe ROCKS! I subbed butter for the shortening and used another reviewers tip about cutting into squares and making triangles instead of rounds. Stuffed the "hot pockets" with leftover cooked chicken breast, leftover marinara, parmesan, and mozerella and my husband and son went crazy for them. So easy - a great after school snack. Will try stuffing them with ham and cheese; egg and cheese for breakfast; leftover sloppy joes... not to mention the sweets you can make with it. This recipe is sooooo versatile! LOVE IT!

My kids LOVE pizza pops and until now I have been usuccessful at reproducing the pizza pop dough...but not anymore! This dough works perfectly and the kids loved it. This was a great treat to make ahead and pop into the freezer. I have even sent the mini pizza pops to school in the kids lunches. Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I will use it often and I plan to try it with a fruit filling sometime too.
