These semi-sweet turnovers are baked to perfection and the flaky shell is so scrumptious. Bake a batch of these gems on a Fall weekend and enjoy one, or two, with a hot cup of tea.
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter -cold and cut into cubes
4 tbsp cold water
3 large Granny Smith apples
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tbsp cinnamon
7-9 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp milk
Directions
- Mix together the flour and the salt.
- Cut half the butter into the flour until it resembles a crumble. Cut in the remaining butter.
- Cut in 1 tbsp of water at a time.
- Knead the dough until the ingredients start to come together, then cut the dough in half.
- Work the dough into balls. Don’t overwork though. The ingredients don’t have to be fully combined.
- Flatten each one a bit.
- Place into separate ziplock bags and place in the fridge.
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the apples and dice into small pieces.
- Put the apples, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon into a pot.
- Heat on medium and mix often.
- Cook until the apples begin to soften. Reduce the heat a little.
- Remove from heat and cool.
- As the apples cool, roll out the dough using the following method:
- Lightly flour a hard surface and place one of the doughs on top. Lightly flour the top.
- Roll the dough until it’s 1/8 inch thick. Take your time when rolling and flip the dough a few times as you roll, lightly flouring the dough so it doesn’t become sticky.
- Roll the dough into a long strip and cut 5 inch squares. You’ll be able to cut 3 squares. Place each square on a piece of parchment paper and set aside.
- Continue with the other dough.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Take one of the squares and roll it out a bit more. You don’t want the dough to be too thick.
- Place on the cookie sheet and put a scoop of apples in the middle.
- Carefully fold over the dough to make a triangle. Using a fork, press down on the edges to seal the dough.
- Continue with the remaining dough squares.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Place the turnovers on a wire rack to cool.
- Whisk together the icing sugar and milk.
- Drizzle on each turnover.
