Organic Apple Turnover Recipe

These apple turnovers are one of Cheyenne's pastry masterpieces that she has been making since she was a little girl! They are a treat to the eye and for the mouth. 

The mouth watering flakey crust and the warm sweet apples drizzled with a delicious icing... there is nothing like it.  Fire up the stove and put on a kettle of tea or get a hot mug of coffee and enjoy these tasty turnovers. They are worth every minute it takes to make them. 

This recipe makes only 4 turnovers so you may want to double the recipe. 

Dough:

 1 cup Organic All Purpose Flour

 1/2 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt 

 1/4 cup ice water

 Filling:

 1/3 cup Raw Sugar 

 1/2 tsp Organic Tapioca Flour or 2 teaspoons Organic Corn Starch

 1/8 teaspoon ground Organic Cinnamon

 2 Organic Apples(peeled and thinly sliced)

 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

 2 tablespoons beaten Free-range Organic egg

 1-1/2 teaspoons water

Glaze:

(If desired)

 1/4 cup Organic Powdered Sugar

 1 teaspoon water

 

Cut remaining butter into thin slices. Starting at a short side of the dough, arrange half of the butter slices over two-thirds of a rectangle to within 1/2 in. of edges. Fold the unbuttered third of dough over the middle third. Fold remaining third over the middle, forming a 6-in. x 4-in. rectangle. Roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle.

Repeat steps of butter layering and dough folding, ending with a 6-in. x 4-in. rectangle. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 15 minutes. Roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Fold in half lengthwise and then widthwise. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, tapioca flour or cornstarch and cinnamon. Add apples and lemon juice; toss to coat. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring often. Remove from the heat. 

In a small bowl, combine egg and water. Roll dough into a 12-in. square; cut into four squares. Brush with half of the egg mixture. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling on half of each square; fold dough over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg mixture. With a sharp knife, cut three small slits in the top of each turnover.

Bake at 450° for 17-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over turnovers. Serve warm. Yield: 4 servings.
