Apple Butter Turnovers
Ingredients
- 8 Tbsp Butter, chilled and cubed
- 8 Tbsp Vegetable Shortening or Lard, chilled and cubed
- 2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tsp kosher salt
- 5 to 6 tablespoons ice water
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup apple butter
Instructions
- Place the first 4 ingredients in a food processor and pulse until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Sprinkle the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, in the food processor and pulse until the dough starts to come together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in parchment paper or plastic wrap, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick.
- Using cookie cutters, cut out turnovers into desired shapes (If you are making 8 turnovers, you need 16 cut-outs, one for the top and one for the bottom).
- Place one cut-out on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet, top with 2 tsp of apple butter (depending on the size of your shape) leaving a 1/4 inch border around the cut-out.
- Combine the honey and water together in a separate bowl.
- Brush the 1/4 inch border with the honey water, place matching pastry shape on top of the apple butter and using the tines of a fork, gently press down to seal the dough.
- Brush the remaining honey water on top of each turnover.
- Using the tip of a knife, cut several slits through the dough (to allow ventilation).
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
- *If you’re using pre-made pie crust, skip ahead to step #5.
