Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tart apples, chopped
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c walnuts, chopped
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 egg, beaten for egg wash
2 Tbsp sugar, for topping
1 pkg frozen ready made pie dough or frozen puff pastry
1-2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Thaw pie dough or puff pastry.
  • 2. Add 1 - 2 Tbsp of flour to your surface before you put the dough or puff pastry down so they do not stick.
  • 3. Unroll sheets and cut each sheet into 4 pieces.
  • 4. Peel and chop apples and add to bowl with lemon juice.
  • 5. Add walnuts, brown sugar, and spices. Mix together. If apples are juicy, you can add a little flour to the mixture to absorb the juice.
  • 6. Fill half of one pastry piece with a spoonful of apple mixture.
  • 7. Fold over to form into a turnover.
  • 8. Rub inside edge with egg wash and seal. Repeat with remaining pastry pieces.
  • 9. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lay turnovers on paper. Make 2 or 3 slits on each turnover, to let steam escape.
  • 10. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
  • 11. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes. You can use other fruits for filling.
