Apple Turnovers

Ingredients:

3 cups sifted flour

3 Tbsp. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 1/4 cup Crisco

5 to 6 Tbsp. water

1 can apple or cherry pie filling

confectioner's sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425. Combine flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Cut in crisco with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is uniform. Sprinkle dough with water a tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until just enough has been added so dough can be patted into a ball. Divide pastry in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1/2 into a 10x15 inch rectangle. Cut into six 5" squares. Repeat with other half. Place about two tablespoons of fruit in center of each square. Moisten pastry edges with water. Fold over half of pastry to form triangle. Seal edges firmly with a fork. Prick top with fork for steam to escape. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Makes 12.
