Apple Turnovers

 
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cups shortening
  • 5 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 3/4 cups canned or fresh apples
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
 

Direction:

Mix salt and flour.  Cut in shortening.  Add water a tablespoon at
a time.  Form ball.  Roll out on floured surface.  This dough will
dry out quickly, so use immediately.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Bring fruit and water to a boil in
a saucepan.  Lower heat and simmer for about five minutes.  Stir
in remaining ingredients, except butter, and bring to a boil once
more.  Boil for a minute, then add butter. Cut your pastries into
circles or squares and fill.  Bake on a greased cookie sheet at
425 for about 20 minutes or until golden.

Optional: drizzle a confectioner sugar and water glaze over turnovers.

Yield:  6-7 "calzone"-sized or 18-20 "ravioli" sized
