Sun-Dried Cherry Apple Turnovers by Chef Thaddeus DuBois
Makes 12 servings
INGREDIENTS:
4 sticks butter (cold and cut into small cubes)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup sugar
1 orange zest
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup ice water
8 apples (peeled and sliced thinly)
3/4 cup sun-dried cherries (roughly chopped)
1/4 cup cornstarch
Apple sauce (as needed)
Egg wash (as needed)
Raw sugar (to taste)
Cinnamon (to taste)
Sugar (to taste)
PREPARATION:
1. Place all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, orange zest and salt in a bowl.
2. Add cubes of cold butter and mix until slightly mealy.
3. Add cold water all at once and mix to a dough.
4. Wrap dough with plastic wrap and chill over night before using.
5. Roll out using a little flour to about 3/8" thickness. Cut into 6" circles using a round cookie cutter.
6. Place a small amount of apple sauce near the center of a dough circle. Add some of the apple mixture on top and brush edges with egg wash and then fold over dough to form turnover.
7. Crimp edges with folk and then cut turnover out to give a nice even edge with a round cookie cutter.
8. Place turnovers on parchment lined baking tray. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon-sugar and sugar-in-the-raw. With scissors, snip three slits into each turnover.
9. Bake at 400 F until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
