Ingredients

1 - apple
1 tsp - ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons - light or dark brown sugar
1 box - pie dough
1 - egg +

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium size bowl, combine the chopped apple, cinnamon and brown sugar. Set aside.
Unroll your pie crust on a parchment-lined or floured surface.
Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter (or any fun shape you like!), cut out as many circles as possible.
Place 2 teaspoons of the apple mixture in the center of half of the dough cut outs. These will be your bases.
Lightly dab a little water around the edges of each base cutout. Place a second dough cutout on top and gently press around the edges to seal.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet.
Poke 3–4 small vents in the top of each turnover with a toothpick. If you'd like them extra golden, whisk 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water and brush it lightly over the tops (optional).
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes and then serve.
