Ingredients for Apple Turnover For One

How to Make Apple Turnover For One

  1. Whisk together 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
  2. Cut in 2 tablespoons of shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add 2-3 tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with a fork until the dough just comes together.
  4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 15 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 7-inch circle.
  6. Arrange thinly sliced apples from 1 medium apple on one half of the circle.
  7. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
  8. Fold the dough over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. You can use your fingers or a fork.
  9. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon of milk or cream.
  10. Prick the top several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  11. Place the turnover on a greased baking sheet.
  12. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. While the turnover is still warm, whisk together 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon milk (or lemon juice) until smooth.
  14. Drizzle the glaze over the warm apple turnover and enjoy!
