Apple Turnovers

I had some leftover pie crust in my fridge, so I decided to make up a recipe for apple turnovers. I think they turned out quite deliciously :)...They're very easy, so give them a try!
 

Ingredients

Turnovers

1 sheet of refrigerated pie crust (like Pillsbury)

1 Tbsp softened butter

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 large granny smith apple, peeled and diced

Frosting

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp milk

Directions

1. Unroll pie crust and spread most of the butter on the crust (save a little to spread on the top of each turnover).

2. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle half of the mixture on top of the pie crust.  

3. Cut pie crust into 4 pieces (i.e. cut in half and in half again)

4. Peel and dice up the apple and toss into bowl with remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture. Make sure to coat all pieces with the mixture. 

5. Evenly divide apple pieces into piles on top of pie crust quarters. Fold crust over apple pieces to make a triangle shaped turnover. Like so:

6. Spread remaining butter on top of turnovers and cut two small slits on the tops of each to allow for venting while baking.

7. Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes until crust is a light golden brown.

8. While turnovers are baking, combine all frosting ingredients in a bowl and mix together. After removing turnovers from oven and letting cool for a few minutes, drizzle frosting on top of turnovers. 

Yields: 4

Now enjoy these delicious treats!

Emily's Thoughts

These were really easy to throw together and I didn't need anything special in terms of tools. You can get fancy apple peelers out there, but I don't own one, so I used a potato peeler to peel my apple. If you don't have one of those, use a knife. It may take longer, but it will be worth it.
