APPLE TURNOVERS USING PHYLLO DOUGH RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Peel and dice apples. In a medium saucepan, add apples,sugar,vanilla,orange/lemon peel, cinnamon and cornstarch. Heat on med-low stirring every so often . Cook for about 5 minutes or until the apple mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool. Remove phyllo dough from package and have a damp towel ready so you can keep the phyllo sheets covered as you work.They tend to dry out very quickly. Melt butter. Using a pastry brush, brush one phyllo sheet. Fold in half(vertical)and brush again. Fold again to form a long strip. Brush again with butter. On one edge, add about 1 1/2 TBS of apple filling. Roll in the form of a triangle...just like you would fold a flag. Brush the outside of the triangle phyllo turnover with extra butter. Place apple turnovers onto a cookie sheet... I like to use parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven at 375 deg F...for 15 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Check after about 10 minutes so that they won't burn. Oven temps vary. Let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

APPLE CRANBERRY PHYLLO TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large nonstick pan cook the apples, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium heat stirring occasionally until the fruit is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the juices in the pan thicken. Set aside to cool.
• Lay a sheet of phyllo onto a large cutting board and brush the dough with oil. Top with a second sheet and brush with oil. Sprinkle half the crushed cookies on top. Add another sheet of phyllo and brush with oil. Cut the phyllo into 4 long pieces. Put a small mound of the apple mixture about 1-inch from the bottom of 1 section and fold the phyllo over the mixture into a triangle-shaped pocket. Continue to fold to maintain the triangle shape so a turnover is formed. Repeat with the other 3 sections. Repeat the whole process again with 3 more sheets of phyllo so that you wind up with 8 turnovers. Be sure to reserve a little oil to brush the top of each turnover.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, place the turnovers on the sheet, brush the tops with the remaining oil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve warm.
