Apple Turnovers by Anette W.

This recipe is really easy and really yummy.  We used the dead fall apples from my honeycrisp tree.  My 12-year-old had a friend over today and they put these turnovers together for me.   When the turnovers were fresh out of the oven, they were absolutely yummy and the crust was flaky and light.  After they cooled, the crust seemed like a lot compared to the filling.  When I make this again, I will either plan to eat them straight off the pan, or make them bigger so that there are less edge pieces of crust.



 The puff pastry came with 2 sheets, so the girls used the extra sheets to make this other yummy dessert.  I don't know where they found the recipe, so I can't tell you how to find it.  Just trust me, it was good.




Apple Turnovers by Annette W.

2 T flour
1/4 c sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch salt
1 1/3 c apples (mine ended up closer to 1 1/2 c, but it worked)
1 T melted butter
1 sheet puff pastry

Combine apples and melted butter.  Combine dry ingredients and add to apples.  Roll puff pastry into a 12"x16" rectangle and cunt into 12- 4" squares.  Place 2 T apple filling in each square and fold over and seal edges with a fork.  You can make rectangles or triangles.  Our "squares" were slightly rectangular, so we didn't think they would make good triangles.  Place on a cookie sheet and cover with 2 layers of heavy brown paper, or tin foil would probably work too.  This keeps the turnovers from burning before the apples are cooked.  Bake at 450 for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350 and bake 30-35 minutes more.
