Apple Turnovers | Weight Watchers

 INGREDIENTS

• 2 apples sweet variety such as pink lady
• ¾ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 2 tsp sweetener I used Stevia - 1 to 1 granulated sweetener
• 2 tsp corn flour / corn starch
• 5 tbsp water
• 1 egg whisked
• 4 tortilla wraps I used WW white wraps
• 5 tsp icing sugar / powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 190oC / 170oC Fan / 375oF
• Peel, quarter and core the apples. Chop into small pieces and place in a small saucepan along with the cinnamon, nutmeg, sweetener, corn starch and stir.  Add the water and heat over a medium heat, stirring every now and again, until the apples have softened. This will probably take between 10 - 15 minutes but is entirely dependant on the kind of apple that you use. If you need to add a few more tablespoons of water to the mix, do so but don't overdo it as you don't want the apple filling to be too runny. 
• Once the apples have softened, use the back of a fork to mash about half of the apple into a puree. I prefer to leave some chunks as this gives the turnovers more texture. 
• For photo instructions of constructing the turnover, see the post above. Lay out the tortilla wraps and cut in half so that you have 8 semicircles. Brush a bit of the egg wash around the edge of the tortilla before placing a spoonful of the apple mixture at the bottom of the semicircle. Fold the tortilla wrap over, brush the top of the turnover with egg and use a fork to press down around the edge to seal.  
• Place on a non stick baking tray and bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown. 
• Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Whilst they are cooling, place the icing sugar / powdered sugar in a small bowl, add a little water (½ teaspoon) and mix to form a glaze that can be drizzled over the top of the turnovers.
• If you want to store them, it's best to do so before adding the glaze (although not necessary).  The turnovers can be kept in an airtight container for a couple of days - they will become a bit soggy but can be warmed in an oven for 5 minutes to crisp up again.
