Apple Cranberry Turnovers

Turnovers?  What?!  I realize that it's January and absolutely everyone in the universe is on a diet, but if you don't give yourself a treat once in a while you'll go nuts and eat an entire package of milano cookies in one quick 30 second inhale.  Just saying, not that I could ever be found surrounded by the wrappings of what used to be a package of cookies. :)

Plus you can call one of these babies a serving of fruit.

I started out by peeling, coring, and slicing 2 apples.

This recipe makes 4 large turnovers, if you'll be making more, you might want to put the apple slices in some acidulated water to keep them from browning while you finish slicing up the apples. I added the apples to 1 tbsp of melted butter in a saucepan on medium.

I added 1 1/2 tbsps cinnamon sugar and 1 tbsp agave nectar and stirred for 2 minutes.  I added 1/2 cup fresh cranberries, 2 tbsps Grand Marnier, and 1 tbsp cornstarch.  I stirred and cooked this for another couple of minutes.  I turned off the heat and let this mixture cool for a bit.

I cut off 1/4 of my puff pastry recipe for this recipe and rolled it out on my counters with a liberal dusting of sweet rice flour.

I rolled the dough into a 12" square and cut the square into 4 smaller squares.

I placed 1/4 of the apple mixture on each square and folded it up into a triangle.

You can use some eggwash to seal the edge and a fork to crimp the edge.  I placed the turnovers on a parchment lined baking sheet and chilled them in the frig for 1/2 an hour.  I placed the turnovers in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1/2 an hour.  After they came out of the oven and cooled for 20 minutes I drizzled a confectioners glaze of 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp vanilla and enough milk to make it an icing consistency.
