Apple Turnovers Recipe



I couldn’t find any recipe that really jumped out at me so I created my own. Troy really enjoyed these one crisp fall afternoon.

Dough:
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon salt
200g (1 1/2 cup) butter
1 egg

Directions:
Better to have all ingredients at room temperature. Cream butter and sugar (if you don’t what this means call your grandmother). Sift flour and salt. Add sour cream and flour to butter and sugar, alternating. Add egg. Mix and set in fridge until chilled.

Roll out dough to thickness you prefer. Cut dough into 3-4 inch diameter circles or you can do squares. Place a spoonful of filling in middle of dough, fold dough over and pinch with fork. Cook in oven 375 for 20-30 minutes (until golden brown).

Filling:
3 large apples (red-yellow kind are the best because they are sweet but tart)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon nutmeg (optional)
1 tablespoon water
1/2 stick of butter

Directions:
Chop up apples and cover with lemon juice so they won’t brown. Add all ingredients into a sauce pan and cook on low until sauce is thick.

Vanilla Cream Sauce:
1 cup of powder sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Milk to thickness you want.

Directions:
Mix and then drizzle over turnovers.
