Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 120 grams coconut oil
- 60 ml ice-cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 medium apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy milk
- 30 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the ice-cold water gradually, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
Cook the apple mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften and the liquid thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into approximately 5-inch squares.
Place a spoonful of the apple filling onto one half of each dough square. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with soy milk.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown.
Allow the turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack.
For an optional glaze, mix the powdered sugar with a small amount of water to reach desired consistency and drizzle over cooled turnovers.
