| In
medium bowl, combine chicken, apple, cheese, green onion,
salt and pepper.
Place thawed crust on a lightly floured
surface and using a 3-inch (7.5 cm) round cookie-cutter,
cut 5 rounds from each pie crust. Using a rolling pin,
re-roll scraps and cut 4 more rounds.
Preheat oven to 425°F (225C). Place
2 tbsp (25 mL) of filling in the centre of each round,
fold round in half and pinch slightly to secure. Using
the tines of a fork, crimp around edge of turnover to
prevent filling from spilling out and arrange on a parchment
lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rounds and
filling (you will have to use two baking sheets). With
a sharp paring knife, cut a small slit in the top of
each turnover and brush with egg mixture.
Bake turnovers in preheated oven until
golden, about 12 minutes.
Makes 24 turnovers.
Chef Tip: Don’t
have a cooked chicken on hand? An equal amount of roasted
sliced or shaved turkey from your deli can be easily
substituted.
*Variety Tip: For
best results, use Ontario Empire, Crispin, Idared, Golden
Delicious, Cortland or Spartan apples.
