Apple turnovers (ernie's)

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups All purpose flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
¾ cup Cold butter
⅔ cup Cold water
2 Apples
½ cup Brown sugar
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Sugar

Directions

DOUGH (FOR 12

FILLING (FOR 4

Pastry: Combine flour and salt. Cut butter into small pieces and cut into flour. Add water and mix. Turn onto lightly floured board and knead about 10 times. Flatten and roll to a long rectangle. Fold into ⅓ lengthwise and roll out again. Do this four times, using sprinkling of flour to cover sticky spots of butter. If it becomes difficult to roll wrap in plastic and refrigerate until cold. The last time you roll it, cut into 3 equal pieces (each piece rolls out to 10" X 10" and makes 4 turnovers). Freeze 2 of the pieces and use the apple filling to make 4 turnovers.

Filling: Peel and core apples, slice thinly and mix with sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into 10" X 10" and cut into four 5" X 5" squares. On a baking sheet, place ¼ of the mixture on each square and fold over into triangles. Crimp the edges with a fork so they do not leak. With a sharp knife cut a couple of slits into each turnover. Sprinkle sugar over the top. Place in refrigerator while oven heats to 425 C. Bake 15 minutes until lightly browned.
