Apple Turnovers

    We had these for breakfast this morning and even the pickiest of our (many) very picky eaters liked them. 

 

They had a nice flaky crust...

 

 

...and a nice cinnamony filling.

 

 

You could have them for dessert or you could have them for breakfast.

 

 

 

We will probably have them for breakfast again. And maybe for dessert sometime too. :)

 

Recipe:

Makes about 20 turnovers.

 

5-6 granny smith apples, diced, quite small

3 Tbsp. butter

3/4 c. brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 Tbsp. cornstarch

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

pinch of salt

 

1/2 pack phyllo sheets

5 Tbsp. butter, melted

 

1. In a large pot, combine apples, butter, sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt over medium heat. Stir often for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.

2. Remove the dough from the package and cover it with a damp towel because it will dry out very quickly.

3. Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean dry surface and brush lightly with butter. Fold it in half lengthwise and brush lightly with melted butter. Place 2-3 Tbsp. of the apple mixture onto the corner edge and fold it over to make a triangle. (Pictorial below.) Once it is completely folded, brush with melted butter and bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
