Apple Turnovers
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 5 tablespoons cold water
- 1 3/4 cup canned or fresh apples
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Mix salt and flour. Cut in shortening. Add water a tablespoon at a time. Form ball. Roll out on floured surface. This dough will dry out quickly, so use immediately. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring fruit and water to a boil in a saucepan. Lower heat and simmer for about five minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients, except butter, and bring to a boil once more. Boil for a minute, then add butter. Cut your pastries into circles or squares and fill. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 425 for about 20 minutes or until golden. Optional: drizzle a confectioner sugar and water glaze over turnovers. Yield: 6-7 "calzone"-sized or 18-20 "ravioli" sized
