Since this thread has no substance, I'm gonna post a recipe for apple turnovers.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cold butter divided, 1/4 cup ice water.
FILLING: 1/3 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cornstarch,1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons beaten egg, 1-1/2 teaspoons water.
GLAZE:1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon water.
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in 1/4 cup butter until crumbly.
Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Cut remaining butter into thin slices.
Starting at a short side of dough, arrange half of the butter slices over two-thirds of rectangle to within 1/2 in. of edges. Fold unbuttered third of dough over middle third. Fold remaining third over the middle, forming a 6-in. x 4-in. rectangle.
Roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Repeat steps of butter layering and dough folding, ending with a 6-in. x 4-in. rectangle.
Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Fold in half lengthwise and then widthwise. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Add apples and lemon juice; toss to coat.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring often. Remove from the heat.
In a small bowl, combine egg and water. Roll dough into a 12-in. square; cut into four squares. Brush with half of the egg mixture. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling on half of each square; fold dough over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg mixture. With a sharp knife, cut three small slits in the top of each turnover.
Bake at 450° for 17-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over turnovers.
Serve warm.Yield: 4 servings.
