I watched it in two days.
Welcome to the life of a teacher in the summertime.
The day after I bought it, I watched up to episode #10 (out of 12) and thought, "Well, geez, might as well just finish it". The same mentality applies when you eat all but 3 of the cookies in the package. Might as well just finish it.
So that led to me, on the couch at 1am, finishing 12 consecutive episodes of True Blood. My self-control, like with the cookies example, is quite pitiful.
It was still light out at 1am.
Then I couldn't sleep.
The next morning, I decided to go to pilates at 9:30. When I came home, I wanted breakfast. Running on less than 6 hours of sleep leads to bad decision-making for me.
I made this giant apple turnover and ate half of it for brunch.
Giant Apple Turnover
serves 2-4, depending on the size of the slices (if you want to have more, just use both of the refrigerated pie crusts in the package and double up on the apples)
1 refrigerated pie crust
2 large apples (I used Golden Delicious; Granny Smith would work well.)
1 t. vanilla
1 t. cinnamon
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 T. granulated sugar
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel the apples and dice them into small pieces (you could also slice them as you would for pie). In a bowl, mix apples, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon juice, and brown sugar.
Lay the pie crust flat on a greased cookie sheet. Spoon the apple mixture onto one half of the crust. Don't overfill it. I had a few spoonfuls of apples leftover. Fold the other half of the crust over the apple mixture and crimp/seal the edges together. Cut a few slits in the top to let steam out as it bakes.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, and brush onto the top of the turnover. Sprinkle sugar over the top.
Bake for 17-20 minutes. I started checked at 15 minutes and pulled it out at 18 minutes.
Serve warm!
