Instructions
Working time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes
With shortcrust pastry and especially delicious for Christmas
For the dough, knead the flour, butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and egg thoroughly, then chill the dough for about 30 minutes. Peel and dice the apples for the filling. Caramelize them in a saucepan with the sugar, then add the lemon juice and cinnamon. Simmer the apple pieces until soft, then mash them, ideally with a potato masher; it’s okay to leave some pieces. While the apple mixture is cooling, remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out to a thickness of about 3-4 mm. Cut out rectangles with sides that are as equal as possible, or circles, and place some of the (cold) apple mixture into the center of each shape. Fold the pieces of dough over to form triangular/semi-circular pockets and press the edges down. Finally, brush the tops of the pockets with a little egg yolk and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C (top/bottom heat). The quantities are sufficient for about 10 – 12 apple turnovers.
