Baked
Apple Turnovers
- 4 Granny Smith apples,
peeled and chopped
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (15-ounce) container refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg white, lightly beaten
- Cook apples and water
in a medium saucepan over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally
and breaking up apples with the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes
or until apples form a coarse puree. Add SPLENDA® Granulated
Sweetener and flour; cook 2 to 3 additional minutes, stirring
constantly until SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener dissolves
and mixture is thickened. Stir in cinnamon. Spoon apple mixture
into a bowl to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 425°F
(225°C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
- Unroll piecrusts; cut
each one into four wedges. Roll each wedge into a 6-inch circle.
Place 3 level tablespoons apple mixture on each circle; moisten
edges of dough with water and fold dough over to form a half-moon
shape. Crimp to seal, and cut vents to release steam. Place on
prepared pan; brush tops with egg white.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes
or until turnovers are browned. Cool turnovers on a wire rack
10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes 8 turnovers.
