Apple pocket pies

This is the easiest dish to be made with apples and one of the tastiest of all pies. I make a wide variety of such pies using different fruits but this one is the tastiest of all. The mixture of cinnamon and sugar  is the standing out factor which gives the pie a unique taste. It is a great tea time snack.
Ingredients
3  apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ginger
1 pinch of cloves
1 pinch of salt
1  package puff pastry, thawed
1 egg
sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Put apple slices in a bowl and add vanilla. In a small bowl, mix together sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Sprinkle spice mixture over apples and toss to combine.
Roll out one puff pastry and fold it into a small cone shaped pocket. Pour some butter into the cone. Fill it with sliced apples.
Make an egg wash, lightly beating one egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush the tops of the puffs with egg and sprinkle with course sugar.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until pies are flakey and lightly browned.
