Ingredients:


6 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening

1 cup cold butter or margarine

12 tablespoons cold water

---FILLING

2 pounds ground pork

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups onion chopped

2 cups potatoes cooked cubed peeled

2 cups diced peeled tart apples

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoons brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage

1 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large egg yolks

2 tablespoons water
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt; cut in the shortening and butter until crumbly. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing lightly with a fork until dough forms a ball. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown pork until no longer pink: drain. Add butter and onion; saute until onion is tender. Add potatoes, apples, flour, sugar, sage, pepper and salt; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Cool. Meanwhile, on a heavily floured surface, roll pastry to 1/8-in. thickness; cut into 3-1/2-in. circles. Place 1-2 tablespoons filling on each circle. Moisten edges with water; fold dough in half. Seal edges with fingers or a fork. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Beat egg yolks and water; brush over turnovers. Bake at 3750 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
