Cinnamon-sugar turnover

A sweet but slightly time-consuming creation, this can be satisfying at all hours of the day. It takes a few minutes to prepare, but is very simple and easy. I encourage you to try experimenting with the bread and cooking methods. I've considered the MYOP oven and panini press as well.

Ingredients:
2 pieces white sandwich bread
2 pats butter
powdered sugar (near the waffle maker)
cinnamon (same)
little bit of apple, very thinly sliced (optional)

Start by breaking the edge of the crusts off your bread. Yes, you look like a 5-year old, but it's necessary. Then spread about 3/4 pat of butter on each piece of bread. Thoroughly dust with a layer of powdered sugar, then sprinkle a coating of cinnamon. If using apples, spread those on now as well, leaving a little space on the edge of the bread. Top with more powdered sugar, and another repetition if you so desire. (Reccommended if you want a full flavor) Top with the other piece of bread, and tightly press the edges together all around. You may have to do this several times to get a good seal. You can also press the entire composition together to flatten it out a little to get a better crust texture. Once it's sealed, place your turnover in the toaster, set almost to its fastest setting. Once it drops down, check the edge seal, flip it over, and put it through once more. Break open the sweet, warm deliciousness and enjoy!


An edit: In the picture, I topped the turnover with a drizzle of honey and a dusting of cinnamon. This is entirely up to you. It looks nice, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a big fan of honey, like me.

  1. Using the bagel toaster is dangerous, but I love danger.
