This recipe is one the kids will love to put together but it has many steps. So if you have a younger chef break the steps into smaller tasks. For example, prepare the dough and the filling yourself, then call the kids in to help put the turnovers together.
1 8oz pkg. cream cheese, softened
¾ Cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg, separated
3 Tablespoons cold water, divided
2 Cups flour
7 Cups thinly sliced peeled apples (about 6)
¾ Cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
In saucepan, toss apples with sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes until apples are tender. Roll pastry dough to 1/8 in. thickness; cut circles with a biscuit cutter. If you'd like bigger turnovers use a small bowl and cut out around the bowl. Top each circle with a tablespoon or more of apple mixture. Fold pastry over filling and press together with a fork.
In small bowl, whisk egg white and 1 tablespoon water. Brush over pastry and sprinkle with sugar. Place on greased cookie sheets and bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Serve with ice cream, if desired
