Recently, I bought a five pound bag of Granny Smith apples and a can of biscuits because they both were on sale. So, what do you do if you have apples and biscuits?!?!?! You make apple turnovers!!! I had been looking for a chunk of time in both my schedule and Dominic's to make this together. He had an almost two hour break between his first and third class this morning, so we made them then!!! Just as Dominic's third class started, I handed him a bowl with the apple turnover in it. I asked him if he wanted a bite and before I knew it, he had grabbed the bowl and ate the entire thing!! My husband came down to the kitchen late morning and I showed him the turnovers. He said, "they smell good!" I had to agree!!!!
Ingredients
1 can refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits)
Two apples, any variety (peeled, cored and sliced) - approximately 1 1/2 cups apples
1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
Optional Glaze: 3 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon water
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and press each biscuit into a 5-inch circle and set aside. In a small bowl, put the apples, light brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir with a small spoon until apples are completely covered with the light brown sugar and cinnamon. On the bottom half of each biscuit, divide the apple mixture evenly. Fold the dough over into a half moon shape. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the turnovers start turning a golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve as is or make the glaze. In a small bowl, put three tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of water and stir with a small spoon until smooth. Drizzle over the turnovers. Store covered at room temperature. *Dominic and I each ate one of these for a late morning snack. You could certainly serve for a dessert after dinner or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Actually, they are yummy no matter when you eat them!!
