To prepare, simply place the pocket pies on a baking sheet and heat them in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is warmed through. Alternatively, they can be heated in a toaster oven or air fryer for a quicker crisping. For best results, allow them to cool slightly before serving. They are also delicious served at room temperature, making them ideal for picnics or potlucks where oven access may be limited.
