I didn't see the need to pound the meat at all as the pocket was perfect size to be stuffed. The apple flavor of the stuffing was very subdued. next time I make this I think I'll try laying some apple rings on top of the stuffed breasts to enhance the apple flavor. The drippings made a good gravy base. there were no left overs.
