Steps:
- Cook apples and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally and breaking up apples with the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes or until apples form a coarse puree. Add SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener and flour; cook 2 to 3 additional minutes, stirring constantly until SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener dissolves and mixture is thickened. Stir in cinnamon. Spoon apple mixture into a bowl to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
- Unroll piecrusts; cut each one into four wedges. Roll each wedge into a 6-inch circle. Place 3 level tablespoons apple mixture on each circle; moisten edges of dough with water and fold dough over to form a half-moon shape. Crimp to seal, and cut vents to release steam. Place on prepared pan; brush tops with egg white.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until turnovers are browned. Cool turnovers on a wire rack 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BAKED APPLE TURNOVERS
OK, so these are not technically apple turnovers, but they really do taste great! A lot easier than dealing with phyllo dough and much healthier. Tortillas paired with the sweet filling work really well when baked. Also, we don't do a lot of sugar in our house--so feel free to increase the sugar to 1/2 cup or more, and omit...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat over to 400 degrees.
- 2. Melt butter in large skillet, then add apples and lemon juice.
- 3. Cook for 5-7 minutes to tenderize, then add nuts, sugar, agave, stevia, cinnamon, and salt.
- 4. Continue cooking, adding a few TB of water as needed to make it close to a "pie filling" consistency.
- 5. Place 1/4 filling mixture onto tortilla and fold in half. Make 4 turnovers and place on greased baking sheet.
- 6. Spray the tops of turnovers with oil or baste lightly with butter.
- 7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned.
- 8. While turnovers are baking, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla & milk in small bowl.
- 9. Allow to cool for a few minutes before drizzling icing over the tops. Serve warm.
Tips:
- For a flakier crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and butter. You can also use a pre-made pie crust.
- If you don't have apple pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
- To make sure the apple turnovers are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they are done.
- Serve the apple turnovers warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
