Apple Turnovers

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 4 cups water

• 4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• 1 tablespoon water

• 1 (17.25 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

• 1 cup confectioners' sugar

• 1 tablespoon milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Combine the lemon and 4 cups water in a large bowl. Place the sliced apples in the water to keep them from browning.

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain water from apples, and place them into the hot skillet. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Add brown sugar, and cinnamon, and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Pour into the skillet, and mix well. Cook for another minute, or until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat to cool slightly.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• Unfold puff pastry sheets, and repair any cracks by pressing them back together. Trim each sheet into a square. Then cut each larger square into 4 smaller squares. Spoon apples onto the center of each squares. Fold over from corner to corner into a triangle shape, and press edges together to seal. Place turnovers on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.

• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until turnovers are puffed and lightly browned. Cool completely before glazing.

• To make the glaze, mix together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl. Adjust the thickness by adding more sugar or milk if necessary. Drizzle glaze over the cooled turnovers.
