Apple Turnover Recipe
Dough:
1 cup 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
teaspoon Lemon Juice2 tablespoons beaten Free-range Organic egg
1-1/2 teaspoons water
Glaze:
(If desired)
1/4 cup Organic Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon water
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in 1/4 cup butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until ball forms. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle.
Cut the remaining butter into thin slices. Starting at the short side of the dough, arrange half of the butter slices over two-thirds of the rectangle to within 1/2 in. of the edges. Fold an unbuttered third of the dough over the middle third. Fold the 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. Add blackberries 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 blackberries are tender. 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 the dough overfilling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with the remaining egg mixture. With a sharp knife, cut three small slits in the top of each turnover.
Bake at 450° F. for 17-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over turnovers. Serve warm.
