Apple Turnovers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. sifted all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/4 c. Crisco shortening
5 to 6 Tbsp. water
1 (20 to 22 oz.) can prepared apple pie filling or cherry
confectioners sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0.
Combine flour, granulated sugar, salt and cinnamon.
Cut in Crisco with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is uniform.
Sprinkle dough with water, a tablespoon at a time, stirring it with a fork until just enough has been added so that dough can be patted into a ball.
Divide pastry in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1/2 of the dough into a 10 x 15-inch rectangle.
Cut into six 5-inch squares.
Repeat with other half of dough.
Place about 2 measuring tablespoons of fruit filling in center of each square.
Moisten pastry edges with water. Fold over one half of pastry to form a triangle.
Seal edges firmly with a fork.
Prick top with fork for steam to escape.
Bake on ungreased baking sheets 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly.
Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
Makes 12.
