Hobbits are known for their ability to eat. I mean:
- Breakfast
- Second Breakfast
- Elevenses
- Luncheon
- Afternoon Tea
- Dinner
- Supper
And if they can eat that much, it must be some pretty delicious meals that they're cooking up! So when I think about hobbits I can't help but think of hearty country meals. I didn't have any roast chicken on hand, but I decided to make apple turnovers.
While we were honeymooning in New Zealand I ate more than my fair share of fish and chips...and apple turnovers. And now I crave apple turnovers all the time!
Here's a great recipe (perfect for a first time apple turnover baker like myself).
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs lemon juice
- 4 cups water
- 2 Tbs butter
- 4 granny smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbs cornstarch
- 1 Tbs water
- 1 (17.25 oz) package frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1 egg (beaten)
- Place apples in water lemon mixture (prevents apples from browning)
- Melt butter and add just apples
- Cook and stir 2 minutes
- Add brown sugar and Cinnamon
- Stir 2 minutes
- Add corn starch and 1 Tbs water
- Cook 1 minute until thickened
- Cool slightly
- Preheat oven to 400°
- Trim puff pastry sheets into squares
- Spoon apple mixture onto center and fold corners over into triangles
- Press edges with fork to seal pastry
- Cut 3 vent slits into top of pastry and place on baking sheet
- Brush beaten egg over top of each pastry and sprinkle with sugar
- Bake 25 minutes until lightly brown
Enjoy for breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, supper (or dessert!) It's delicious hot from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
