Apple Turnovers

Recipe from foodnetwork.com

Ina Garten

1 tsp orange zest

3 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice

1 1/4 lbs tart apples (3 apples) 

3 tbsp dried cherries (I omitted these)

3 tbsp sugar plus extra to sprinkle on top

1 tbsp flour

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp nutmeg

pinch kosher salt

1 package frozen puff pastry, defrosted

1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water for egg wash

Preheat oven to 400*F.  

Combine orange zest & juice in a bowl.  Peel & core apples, and then cut into 3/4 inch cubes.  Immediately toss with zest & juice to prevent browning.  Add cherries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt.

Flour a board and lightly rolll each sheet of puff pastry into a 12-inch square.  Cut each sheet into 4 smaller squares and keep chilled until ready to use.

Brush edges of square with egg wash and place about 1/3 cup of apple mixture on half of the square.  Fold the pastry diagonally over the apple mixture and seal edges with a fork.  Transfer to a sheet pan.  Brush top with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar and make small slits.  Bake x 20 minutes, or until browned.

Mine came out HORRIBLE!  They were not sweet tasting at all, I couldn't get the edges to seal properly and it was just bad.  My dad liked them, but he eats anything. So I shall not be making this again.
