Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup coconut oil
- 6 tablespoons ice water
- 4 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar.
Cut in the coconut oil using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Add more water if necessary.
Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, about 8-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, then stir into the apple mixture and cook until thickened.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each disc of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 6-inch squares.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture on one half of each square, leaving a border around the edges.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.
Transfer turnovers to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with non-dairy milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Cut small slits on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
