Napolitanas de manzana

Ingredientes

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 cups chopped peeled apples

• TOPPING:
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Vanilla ice cream, optional

Preparación

1. 1

   Prepare the apple filling: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Add the apples, and toss to coat. Editor's Tip: Set the bowl aside, and let the sugar draw out the moisture in the apples for a few minutes.

2. 2

   Cut the dough into squares: On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet into a 12-inch square. Cut each into four squares.

3. 3

   Fill the turnovers: Give the apple mixture a good stir to bring up all the juices that dripped to the bottom of the bowl. Spoon 1/2 cup of the apple mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Fold the dough of each diagonally in half, and press the edges to seal. Arrange the turnovers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Editor's Tip: You can use a fork to help press and seal the pastry edges, like crimping the crust of an apple pie.

   Bake the turnovers: In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar and cinnamon. Brush evenly over the turnovers. Bake until the turnovers are golden brown, 12 to 16 minutes. If desired, serve warm with ice cream.
