These are delicious......I've made them many times. You can also make them and freeze, then bake at a later time; they're just as good.

Pastry for 2---crust 10--inch pie
4 c. diced peeled apples
1/8 tsp. salt
2/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon ( I use more )
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tblsp. lemon juice
6 tblsp. soft butter
Milk

Combine apples, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice.

Divide pastry in half and roll one half to make 11--inch square. Dot with 3 tblsp. butter, fold over and roll out again to make an 18--inch x 12--inch rectangle. Cut in 6--inch squares. Repeat with second half of dough.

Place about 1/3 c. apple mixture on each square of pastry; fold over and seal edges by pressing with 4--tined fork. Prick tops of turnovers. Brush with milk.

Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) until golden, about 25 to 30 min. Serve warm or cold.

Note: After they cool, I drizzle sugar glaze on them.
