Apple Turnovers

 MAKE PASTRY FIRST: 2 cups flour, cut in 1cup cold margarine, add 1/3 cu ice water. Ombine till dough ball forms.
 Add an ice cube to make water ice cold, before adding to pastry mixture.
 FILLING:  Cut up 5 or 6 granny smith apples, toss in 1/2 cup sugar,  1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg,
1/8 tsp cloves.
 PASTRY: Flatten into a ball, wrap in plastic and chill about an hour. Makes it easier to roll out.Don't use prepared pastry. It is not nice. This is nicer. 
 Roll out half pastry .............
 Cut into a square, and divide into 4 sections. Leftover pieces will be reused.
 Pile a bit of apple mixture on half of pastry flat.
 Roll over to other edge, crinmp edges with flour dipped fork. Have fun making a mess......
 Wash each turnover with egg wash, and sprinkle with raw sugar.
 Should look something like this. Have fun making more mess with the raw sugar.....
Bake at 400 degress for about 22 minutes. Absolutely lovely with cream poured over top, or eaten cold.  Better than apple pie. Two people can share one turnover......but  may have to fight over the crumbs.
