Apple Turnovers with Flaky Crust and Sweet Apple Filling

These apple turnovers are made completely from scratch with my easy homemade pie crust. They take less than an hour to make and taste SO much better than store-bought.

Ingredients

• 2 batches pie crust dough (I recommend using my favorite easy pie crust, the recipe is easily doubled to make enough for this recipe)
• 4 apples, peeled and diced into pieces no larger than ½" I recommend using a tart apple like Gala, Fuji, or Granny Smith, but just about any will work here! (about 1 ¾ lbs apples before peeling/dicing)
• ⅔ cup light brown sugar tightly packed (135g)
• 2 Tablespoons butter (42g)
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg + 1 teaspoon water for egg wash
• 2 Tablespoons coarse sugar for sprinkling, optional

Vanilla Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar (125g)
• 2-4 teaspoons milk
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
