Apples in season.....makes me want to bake

Posted in Lets Eat

For that reason, I told the kids to each pick out an apple recipe we could bake together.

First up was J. He and I made apple cake. Oh so good.

C and I made apple turnovers yesterday. Yes, they taste as good as they look. He was so proud of himself. Recipe follows.

 

 

Apple Turnovers

 

4 medium apples (McIntosh, Golden Delicious, Gala, Ginger Gold)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

pastry for a double pie crust

milk

 

 

Grease a large baking sheet.

Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/4-inch slices. Place in a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice.

Cut the butter into small pieces; add to the apple slices.

Mix the sugar and cornstarch. Stir into the apple mixture

Divide the pastry into 8 equal parts and roll into 6 or 7-inch squares.

Spoon the filling onto the center of each square. Brush the edges with milk and fold over to make a triangle.

Press the edges together to seal and crimp with the tines of a fork. Using a sharp knife, make a steam vent in the middle of each. Place on the baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat over to 425 F.

Brush the turnovers with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet and serve warm or cold.

 

YIELD: 8 turnovers

that clinches it. I can NEVER let my children read your blog. You are by far the coolest mom I know, and they'll want to move in with you!
