How to Make Sourdough Apple Turnovers with Spelt Flour
The filling in these sourdough apple turnovers made with spelt flour is enough to taste fall, to feel cozy, and to make the kitchen smell amazing. Spelt flour gives it a thicker and heartier texture, and I like to think that they are “healthy” since they are made with spelt. These sourdough apple turnovers heat up beautifully and make the perfect snack for when you get home from work and you just want to be wrapped up in a food hug. Let me tell you how I make them.
Sourdough Apple Turnovers
Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and grated.
- Stir in the sourdough discard, maple syrup, and the water (adding a bit at a time to get the right shaggy dough consistency). Use your hands if needed.
- Sprinkle a bit of flour onto your counter, pour the dough out onto it, and use a rolling pin to roll it into a large rectangle that is ½ in. thick.
- Fold it in half again long ways and then in half again. This will give it some layers.
- Put it on a plate or pan and put it in the freezer while you prepare the apple filling.
- In a medium-sized pot, mix together the butter, cinnamon, salt, maple syrup, lemon juice, and apples.
- Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
- Combine the cornstarch and water in a seperate small bowl, and mix it into the cooked apple filling. Make sure to stir it continuously for 1-2 minutes so that it will thicken.
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- Take the dough out of the freezer and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle that is about ¼ in. thick.
- Cut in into 6 equal squares.
- Add the apple filling into the middle of each square, but don't overfill or the squares won't close.
- Paint the egg wash around the edges of the open squares, fold the squares in half, and use a fork to press the edges down.
- Poke the dough a few times with a fork to let the heat escape while baking.
- Paint the egg wash over each turnover and place them on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the turnovers are baking, make the drizzle.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (a bit at a time), maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and drizzly. Add more milk or powdered sugar to adjust the consistency.
- Remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle on the glaze and enjoy!
