Ingredients  

  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored & diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 14 ounce box refrigerated pie dough
  • 1 egg yolk for wash

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat. 
  • Toss the first 3 ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • Unroll your pie crust on a parchment-lined or floured surface.
  • Take one 4-inch round cookie cutter (or the top of a drinking glass) and cut out circles out of the pie crust.
  • Place 2 teaspoons of the apple mixture in the center of the circle.
  • Brush half of the border on each round with some of the beaten egg yolk*. Fold each round over to make a half-moon shape and then crimp the edges shut with the tines of a fork. 
  • Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet.

  • 8. Continue to make the remaining turnovers.
  • Use a toothpick to poke 3-4 holes in the top of each turnover and brush with the yolk wash.**
  • Bake for 18 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes and then serve.
  • * If anyone in your home has an egg allergy you can skip this step. 

  • **Apple Pie Turnovers can be placed on baking sheets in the freezer for one hour and then placed in labeled containers for freezing up to 3 months. When ready to bake, bake for 20 minutes in oven at 425° F.
