The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 4 medium apples (shredded (about 4 cups of shredded apples))
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 9-inch pie crust dough
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium saucepan, combine shredded apples, brown sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • Cook the mixture over medium heat until thickened, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in lemon juice, remove from heat and cool completely.
  • Divide the pie dough into 8 equal parts.
  • Roll out each piece into 5-inch (12cm) disks.
  • Once the apple filling is completely cooled, divide it into 8 equal parts.
  • Place the filling on each pie crust and fold it over, creating a half-moon shaped pies.
  • Using a fork, press the edges of the pies.
  • Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or silicone mat. (At this point, you can go ahead and freeze them.)
  • Brush heavy cream on each pie. And sprinkle some brown sugar, if desired.
  • And then make 3 cuts on top with a sharp knife for the steam to escape.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.( The frozen turnovers should be baked for 25-30 minutes.)
  • Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
