Super Simple Apple Turnovers Recipes

EASY APPLE TURNOVERS RECIPE

Steps:

• To make these apple turnovers I'm using my homemade pie crust.
• First, remove the pastry dough out of the fridge. it's important to let it sit at room temperature before rolling into it. This will make the rolling process a lot easier.
• Then, peel, core, and dice the apples and set them aside.
• Next, on a medium saucepan melt over medium heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
• Add the apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg, and a pinch of salt, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until the apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from the stove and set aside to cool.
• Now for the rolling part:
• On a flat, dry surface sprinkle some flour and place the dough. This will prevent the dough from sticking. Then, with gentle smooth strokes roll out the dough. Always start from the center of the dough then work your way out into all directions turning the dough as you go.
• Turn and roll the dough and cut into circles using a cookie cutter, a cup, or glass. Spoon out some of the cooled apple mixture (about 1 tablespoon) depending on the size of your circle. You can place it in the center of the circle and place another circle on top. Then, place them on a baking sheet.
• Next, using a fork to seal the edges of the dough. Also, using a knife or a fork cut a few small slits in the top of each turnover. This not only will give a nice touch to the turnover, but it will prevent the filling from coming out, spilling, and burning. You can also place them in the refrigerator uncovered for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Next, in a small mixing bowl whisk 1 egg with 1-2 teaspoons of water and brush over the turnovers. This will lead to a shiny golden brown pastry.
• Bake them for 20-30 minutes or until they are puffed and golden.
• Drizzle a very simple homemade glaze over the turnovers and Enjoy! To make the glaze you'll need powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream.
