Ingredients
For the dough: 4-1/2 ounces gf cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup gf flour 2 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon sugar
For the filling: 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced and then cut in thirds 1/4 cup Craisins 2 Tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Beat together the gf cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Mix in the gf flour and sugar until well blended. Form into a ball (the dough will be very sticky), cover with wax paper and refrigerate until well-chilled.
Meanwhile, combine the apples, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Toss until all the apples are evenly coated with the cinnamon and sugar. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the apple mixture and sauté, turning frequently, until the apples are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Lightly flour a surface with gf flour. Place the chilled dough on the floured surface and dust the top of the dough with gf flour. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Try to make sure the the bottom surface remains floured so that the dough doesn’t stick when you cut it out. Cut the dough into 3" rounds. Place 1 teaspoon of filling on each round and fold dough over forming a moon shape. Press the edges together to form a seal. Prick the top of the turnover to allow for the steam to vent. Place turnovers on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes or until nicely browned. Let cool briefly and serve.
Tips
These are delicious little treats that will remind you of a wonderful bite of apple pie. Be patient with the dough...it is a little sticky but if you keep with it, it will make a nice flaky crust. A little tip: make sure that the dough is well-chilled before you roll it out.
