How to Make Apple Turnover For One
- Whisk together 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
- Cut in 2 tablespoons of shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 2-3 tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with a fork until the dough just comes together.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 15 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 7-inch circle.
- Arrange thinly sliced apples from 1 medium apple on one half of the circle.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Fold the dough over the filling, crimping the edges to seal. You can use your fingers or a fork.
- Brush the top with 1 tablespoon of milk or cream.
- Prick the top several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Place the turnover on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- While the turnover is still warm, whisk together 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon milk (or lemon juice) until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm apple turnover and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
