Tender cream cheese turnover pastry is wrapped around a Apple Cranberry filling to make these Apple Turnovers that are the ultimate fall dessert recipe. Serve with a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
Beat softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix egg yolk with water and add gradually. Beat in flour, switching to a spoon when thick. Wrap dough tightly and refrigerate at least one hour.
Peel, core, and chop apples, treating to prevent browning if desired. Combine apples, cranberries, sugars, and cinnamon in a skillet. Cook 10–15 minutes, add cornstarch, and cook until thickened. Cool completely.
Roll chilled dough on a floured surface to ⅛–¼-inch thickness and cut into circles. Place filling in each center, moisten edges, fold dough over, and press closed. Seal edges carefully with a fork.
Beat reserved egg white with water, then brush over each turnover and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375°F for 15–20 minutes, or until beautifully golden brown. Allow turnovers to cool to room temperature before serving.
