Kiwi Apple Turnovers

My produce items: Kiwis, Pink Lady Apples
2 kiwis
3 pink lady apples
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
2-3 tablespoons of sugar
2-3 tablespoons of peach jam
2 tubes of pillsbury crescent rolls

Skin and dice apples removing the core. Place apples in a saucepan. Add cinnamon and sugar and simmer covered until apples are soft and evenly coated in cinnamon sugar (about 10-15 minutes).

Skin and dice kiwis. Spread out 8 crescent roll triangles on a baking sheet (1 tube). Spread peach jam on the crescent roll dough. Add kiwis and apples on top. Open up the second tube of crescent rolls. Place new triangles over top of each triangle with kiwi apple mixture and pinch the sides to create a triangle packet with the kiwi and apples inside (you may need to spread out the dough some to get it to cover).

Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve warm.

Serves: 8
Final Verdict: Yummy

We were serving 8, but for less people you could obviously use 1 tube of pillsbury crescent rolls to make 4. The pillsbury rolls come precut into 4 triangles. Instead of rolling it into a 'croissant,' I just used it as a crust. I think the kiwis and apples went well together with the peach jam. This recipe could be easily duplicated with other types of fruit and jams. The jam I used was homemade from Dupar's Restaurant and Bakery. Next time I'm going to try strawberries with raspberry jam from Solvang. I also felt the turnovers could have used more jam so next time I'll also top off the fruit mixture as well as spreading on the dough.
