Apple Turnovers

Directions

1. 1
   In medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in 1/2 cup butter with a pastry blender or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with water and mix well with a fork. Shape dough into a ball and with a lightly-floured rolling pin, roll into an 18x8-inch rectangle.
2. 2
   Cut 1/4 cup butter into thin slices, and starting at the shorter side of the rectangle, place slices over two-thirds of the dough, to within half an inch of the edges.
3. 3
   Fold unbuttered third of pastry over the middle (buttered) third, then fold the opposite end over to make an 8x6-inch rectangle. Roll dough out to an 18x8-inch rectangle again. Slice remaining 1/4 cup butter and place slices on dough and fold as directed again.
4. 4
   Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes. Remove from plastic wrap and roll into an 18x8-inch rectangle. Fold lengthwise this time, then crosswise; chill for 1 hour.
5. 5
   In a medium saucepan, prepare the filling. Mix the apples, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and cinnamon. Cook over low heat until apples are tender.
6. 6
   Preheat oven to 450F.
7. 7
   Cut dough in half; wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Roll the other half into a 12-inch square. Cut into quarters. Beat an egg and 1 teaspoon of oil and brush each dough quarter. Spoon 1/8 of the apples in the center of each square and fold in half. Press edges to seal.
8. 8
   Place on a cookie sheet and prepare the other half of dough in the same way. Brush turnovers with remaining egg mixture. With a sharp knife, cut a few slashes on each turnover.
9. 9
   Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a rack to cool. When cool, mix the powdered sugar and milk and drizzle over the turnovers.
