Apple Turnovers
Warm, flaky pastries filled with sweet and spiced apples, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Pastry and Filling
- 1 package Frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3 medium Apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/3 cup Brown sugar Adds richness
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon For depth of flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg For depth of flavor
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice To brighten flavors
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted For richness
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated and let it sit for about 10 minutes to release the juices.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into squares, about 4x4 inches.
- Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill.
- Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal, using a fork to crimp for extra security.
Baking
- Brush the tops with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar for a sweet glaze, if desired.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
- Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
Notes
Allow your puff pastry to thaw in the fridge overnight for best results. If you make a mess, those imperfect ones can taste the best!
