How to Make Whole Wheat Apple Turnovers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt.
  3. Cut in the chilled shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to 1/8 inch thickness.
  6. Use a 4-inch square cutter or knife to cut out twelve squares.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt.
  8. Gently toss to coat the apples evenly. Drizzle with honey.
  9. Place a heaping tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center of each dough square.
  10. Dot each apple filling with 1/2 teaspoon of cold margarine.
  11. Moisten the edges of each square with water. Fold into triangles and crimp the edges tightly with a fork.
  12. Place the turnovers onto the prepared baking sheet.
  13. Prick the top of each turnover with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  14. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  15. Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
