Apple Turnovers
Ingredients
2 1/4 cup unbleached flour
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup vegetable shortening
6 oz cheddar, sharp, shredded
1 water
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
6 each apples, pared and cored
1/4 cup butter
Preparation
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the flour and salt, mixing
well, then cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Sir in the cheese and sprinkle with water while mixing
lightly with a fork, (From 6 to 8 Tbls of water maybe required),
continue mixing until dough makes a ball. Divide the dough into three
equal portions and roll each portion, on a lightly flour surface,
into a 14 X 7-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle into 2 7-inch
squares. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, then fill the centers
of the apples topping each apple with butter. Sprinkle the remaining
brown sugar mixture over the pastry. Place an apple in each square
and fold the corners to the center, pinching the dough at the top of
the apple to seal. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
Top with whipped cream.
