Apple and Cinnamon Turnovers.

A simple but effective dessert. You could use any fruit (stone or pip or berry) that can make a soft filling, as long as it is not too wet.
The cutting and folding of the pastry needs to be precise. Don't forget to poke holes in the pastry to allow the steam to escape. The Egg wash is just a beaten egg and a little bit of water mixed together.
I served the Turnovers with Vanilla Yoghurt but you could use whipped cream or icecream.
Enjoy!
