Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 120 grams coconut oil
• 60 ml ice-cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 medium apples
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons soy milk
• 30 grams powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the solid coconut oil and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Pour in the ice-cold water gradually, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.

Step 4

Cook the apple mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften and the liquid thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into approximately 5-inch squares.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the apple filling onto one half of each dough square. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.

Step 8

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with soy milk.

Step 9

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the turnovers to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 11

For an optional glaze, mix the powdered sugar with a small amount of water to reach desired consistency and drizzle over cooled turnovers.
