Apple Turnovers

2 large or 3 medium - Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
1/2 tablespoon - lemon juice
3 tablespoons - Domino® Granulated Sugar
1/2 tablespoon - all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon - cinnamon
1 - box of puff pastry sheets, 2 sheets per box
3 tablespoons - butter, melted

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped apple and lemon juice. Add sugar, flour and cinnamon, blending well; set aside.

Unfold the puff pastry and flatten lightly with your hands. Using a knife, divide each sheet of dough into 4 squares. To find the center of your turnover, take one square and gently fold in half to form a triangle. Unfold and fill the center of the triangle with 2 tablespoons of apple mixture, pinching edges closed with your fingers, or the tines of a fork. Be sure edges are clean so turnovers can be tightly sealed.

Place turnover on cookie sheet and repeat until all eight turnovers are ready. Using the tines of a fork, prick each turnover once. Brush lightly with melted butter and place in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm. Store at room temperature wrapped in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container.

For best results, rotate your trays after 15 minutes of baking, switching the bottom tray to the top and the top tray to the bottom.

Yields 8 turnovers.
