Loretta Lynn's Apple Turnovers

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/4 cups shortening
• 5 to 6 tablespoons water
• 1 (20 to 22 ounce) can prepared apple pie filling
• Confectioners' sugar
  

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Combine flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Cut in shortening. Sprinkle dough with water a tablespoon at a time, until just enough has been added so dough can be patted into a ball. On a floured surface, roll half of dough into a 10 x 15-inch rectangle. Cut into 5-inch squares.
4. Repeat with other half of dough. Place about 2 tablespoons of fruit filling in each square. Fold over one half of pastry to form a triangle. Seal edges firmly with a fork. Prick top with fork.
5. Bake on ungreased baking sheets for 12 to 15 minutes.
6. Cool slightly; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
