Apple Pie Turnovers

Ingredients

• 1 large apple (, peeled, cored & diced (about 1 cup))
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
• 1 box refrigerated pie dough ( (or homemade pie dough))
• 1 egg + 1 tsp water (optional for egg wash)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.

2. 2

   In a medium size bowl, combine the chopped apple, cinnamon and brown sugar. Set aside.

3. 3

   Unroll your pie crust on a parchment-lined or floured surface.

4. 4

   Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter (or any fun shape you like!), cut out as many circles as possible.

5. 5

   Place 2 teaspoons of the apple mixture in the center of half of the dough cut outs. These will be your bases.

6. 6

   Lightly dab a little water around the edges of each base cutout. Place a second dough cutout on top and gently press around the edges to seal.

7. 7

   Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   Poke 3–4 small vents in the top of each turnover with a toothpick. If you'd like them extra golden, whisk 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water and brush it lightly over the tops (optional).

9. 9

   Bake for 15-18 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes and then serve.
