Apple Turnovers

What to do with an overabundance of  CSA apples!

recipe by Amanda

For the past several weeks, Nick and I have gotten a ton of apples from our CSA.  We've made apple crisp and apple cake already, so this week we decided to try something different.  Today's dessert is: APPLE TURNOVERS!

Ingredients:

6 medium apples (we used Rome apples from our CSA)

1 Trader Joe's frozen pie crust (really nice ingredients)

3/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

3 tbs cane sugar

1/2 cup water

Directions:

*pre-heat the oven to 400°

*peel and cube apples

*put apples in a sauce pan or skillet 

*add spices, sugar and water to apples and stir 

*cook on medium heat for about ten minutes or until apples are tender

*meanwhile, cut pie crust into 4'' diameter circles

*spoon softened apple mixture into the center of the crust circles (about a tbs of apples per crust circle) and fold over to close

*sprinkle sugar on top

*bake in oven for 20 minutes or until brown

Enjoy :)
