Pie Pastry
Yields: 10 Apple Turnovers
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 20 min
Ingredients:
Pastry for 9-inch two crust pie*
1/2 cup granulated
sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
4 to 5 medium tart cooking
apples
1 to 2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
* Yes - The same pie crust that
you would use in making an apple pie is used for the turnovers.
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.
Peel, core, and slice apples approximately 1/8-inch thick. Toss apple slices in sugar mixture until well coated.
Prepare pie pastry. Roll pie crust to a
20-inch x 16-inches rectangle; cut into 10 oblongs pieces. Place prepared apple filling on top of each oblong dough piece. Fold dough over to form a square; prick
ends of the dough with a fork. Place the turnovers on a large lightly-buttered baking sheet. Brush milk over top of each turnover and then
sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar onto tops.
Bake approximately 20 minutes or until the internal temperature registers approximately 175 degrees F. on your
cooking thermometer and the crust is golden brown and apples are tender.
This
is the type of cooking thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking. I get many readers
asking what cooking thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the
Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the
Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. To learn more about this excellent
thermometer and to also purchase one (if you desire), just click on the underlined:

Remove from oven and serve warm or at room temperature.
Turnovers may be frozen and heated before serving in a 400 degrees F. oven for about 5 minutes.
