Description
A straightforward recipe for making flaky apple turnovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four equal squares.
- Spoon about two tablespoons of the apple mixture onto one half of each pastry square, leaving a small border.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Cut two small slits in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Let the turnovers cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar for a deeper flavor.
- If you prefer a glaze, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk and drizzle over cooled turnovers.
