Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Pastry for 9\" double-crust pie, unbaked
1 cup Crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons Butter
½ cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Cornstarch

Directions

I am sending along a recipe from each of these ladies. The pineapple turnovers from Grandma Elliott are one of the few things she made that were absolutely wonderful - so don't let my comments on her cooking abilities scare you away from attempting these treats! Grandma Todd's rolls were famous throughout Park County, Indiana, where she lived and worked.

Sometimes she would make the dough into cinnamon buns, instead of plain dinner rolls. However you make them, they are delicious.

Mix and cook until mixture cooks thick and clear. Let cool; add ½ cup cream to make thin enough to spread. Cut the pie dough into circles the desired size, spread one half with the pineapple filling, fold other half over and carefully seal (we always use the tines of a fork dipped in water).

Preheat oven to 375F. Finish putting together your turnovers. Cut steam vents in each and carefully place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush tops of turnovers with milk and sprinkle with white sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until turnovers are golden and the filling bubbling.
