Steps of Apple Turnovers Recipe

#	Steps
1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3.	Add the sour cream and stir until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together.
4.	Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into six equal rectangles.
5.	In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and stir to combine.
6.	Cook the apple mixture for 5-7 minutes, until the apples are tender and the mixture is syrupy. Add the lemon juice and cornstarch and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the mixture has thickened.
7.	Spoon some of the apple mixture onto one half of each rectangle of dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge.
8.	Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and use a fork to crimp the edges together.
9.	Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10.	In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the turnovers.
11.	Sprinkle some turbinado sugar over the tops of the turnovers, if desired.
12.	Bake the turnovers for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown and puffed up.
13.	Allow the turnovers to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

For a shortcut, you can use pre-made puff pastry instead of making your own pastry. If you don't have turbinado sugar, you can use regular granulated sugar instead. These turnovers are best served warm, but they can also be reheated in the oven or microwave. You can adjust the amount of sugar and spices in the filling to suit your taste preferences. For a fun twist, try adding some chopped nuts or raisins to the filling.
