- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

THen heat a skillet on medium heat with 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted add the apple mixture and cornstarch.
Stir together and let the mixture simmer until the apples are tender and the sauce thickens slightly. Be sure to stir occasionally.
Once the filling is thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the filling to cool for about 10 minutes.

Take each corner of the square and fold towards the center, press into the center together.
Use a pastry brush to coat the turnovers in milk, to help them become golden brown in the oven.

Remove from the oven and let cool a few minutes, before serving with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
