directions

  • For Crust:

  • Add dry ingredients to a large bowl.
  • Slice butter stick by stick and put into bowl.
  • Mix with clean hands until dough is the texture of sand.
  • Add ice water a little at a time (while continuing to mix with hands) until a doughy texture. Note: Be careful to go slowly and not put too much water inches.
  • Chill one hour.
  • For turnovers:

  • (Preheat oven to 375 degrees).
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out into 6 to 8 inch circles.
  • For each turnover, place slices of apples on half of each dough circle (leaving a rim for crust). Sprinkle cinammon and sugar on top of apples and place a slice of butter atop the pile.
  • Dip your finger in cold water and moisten the entire edge of your dough circle.
  • Fold the dough over the apples and press/pinch around edges to seal the turnover.
  • Poke a few holes in the dough over the apples, brush with egg white and sprinkle sugar on top.
  • Repeat and place turnovers on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees, then lower oven temperature to 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Turnovers are done when golden brown.
