Ingredients
For the dough, you will need: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 tablespoon sugar - 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces - 1/3 cup ice water For the filling, you will need: - 4 apples, peeled and diced - 1/4 cup sugar - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 1 tablespoon water For the egg wash, you will need: - 1 egg - 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 2. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). 4. In a medium saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and butter. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the apple mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool. 6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut the dough into 6-inch circles using a round cookie cutter or a bowl. 7. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled apple mixture onto one half of each circle. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal. 8. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash. 9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
