Title: Apple Turnovers (Ernie's)
Categories: Dessert
Yield: 4 Servings
| DOUGH (FOR 12 |
| 2 | c | All purpose flour |
| 1/4 | ts | Salt |
| 3/4 | c | Cold butter |
| 2/3 | c | Cold water |
| FILLING (FOR 4 |
| 2 | | Apples |
| 1/2 | c | Brown sugar |
| 1/2 | ts | Cinnamon |
| 1 | ts | Sugar |
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 1/3 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 1/4 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.
