Comfort me with apples

So the food adventures have been fairly lax recently, as I'm still working to get settled around here. Much to the relief of my mother, I'm cleaning out my childhood room for good, which involves serveral hours of reading your 4th book reports and 6th grade class president speech. Not exactly a recipe for productivity.

But, thanks to my mom, I did make apple turnovers the other night for her. The apples on our tree outside are a bit too tart for eating, but luckily at little baking and a little sugar does them good. The recipe also involves store bought puff pastry, which is super easy, though it did get a bit too warm so I kept blasting it in the freezer. Looks like I didn't stay away from butter pastry for very long...

Here's the recipe, from Barefoot Contessa. It's like a cheater version of apple pie and makes a nice dessert with ice cream, or nice breakfast, or both in my case.

The writing is going much slower than I thought, too. Writing 3 chapters seemed much more feasible before I did all the research. All this sitting lends itself well to baking or roasting, but considering baking is much cheaper than a leg of lamb, I'm going to stick with that. If anyone has good baking recipes, pass them on!
