Apple Turnovers!

So I made my first ever attempt at "making up" my own recipe.  While I am sure there are various recipes that are very similar, I really just used what I had and hoped it worked!

If you saw my previous post, you'll have seen that I had a ridiculous amount of apples and oranges on my table.  In my fridge, I had 4 tubes of Pillsbury crescent rolls. Don't judge, there was a sale.  I threw in a little of this and that, and it all started to come together.

Verdict: SUCCESS! Although I would make some adjustments along the way that i'll tell you allll about!

Also: there was no alcohol consumed in the making of these.....shocking, I know.


LAZY APPLE TURNOVERS
(I'm not calling you lazy or anything - I just think that they're so easy that even the laziest lady in the kitchen can make em!)
Makes: 16 (this recipe could easily be halved)


Ingredients:

• 7 small apples 
• 4 tubes of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
• 4 tbsp all purpose flour
• 4 tbsp brown sugar
• 4 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (I used 1/2 a stick-ish)

1.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, peel apples, then cut up into 1/2 inch bitties. 

2.  Add in sugars, flour and cinnamon.  Mix with a spoon gently for a few minutes until combined.  It should look like sugary deliciousness.  

 

3.  Open the crescent roll packages and spread 2 tubes worth of triangles out on prepared cookie sheets.  These will be your "bottoms", and the other two packages will be your "tops".   Spoon about 2 tbsp of the apple deliciousness into each triangle.  

4.  Get yo' stick of buttah and cut 1/4 inch cubes and place them on top of the apple deliciousness.  

5. Place the "tops" on.  I found stretching out the triangles helped before laying them on.  Pinch all the way around the close all that deliciousness inside.  

This is the point where I thought this was gonna be a huge failure.  They're not gonna be pretty....

6.  Put them in the oven, and set the timer for 12-14 minutes.  They should be browning on the tops and in the corners when they're done.  

7.  Let them cool for 5 minutes, then dig in!
