Apple Turnover

Ingredients:

2 + 1/2 cups flour

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 cup shortening

1 tsp. salt

1 egg yolk (save the white for later)

2/3 cup milk

2 handfuls of oatmeal

Apple Pie Filling

Glaze:

2 Tbsp milk

2 Tbsp. Butter

1 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

Combine and blend flour, sugar, shortening, and salt. Mix the egg yolk and milk together till smooth. Once the shortening is well blended, add the milk and egg to the flour mix. Stir till ingredients are blended (the more you mix the tougher the crust will be).

Roll out the dough into a square. Transfer dough onto a baking sheet. (It helps if you roll the dough out onto wax paper). Sprinkle 2 handfuls of oatmeal onto half of the dough. Spread the apple filling on top of the oatmeal. Fold over the top crust and seal the edges with a little bit of water. Beat the egg whites till foamy and brush onto the top crust. Cut slits into the top crust for steam vents. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Frost with glaze while warm.

Difficulty: Medium

Time to Make: 30 minutes of preparation plus 1 hour baking time.
