Ingredients
Here’s everything you need for these quick and easy apple turnovers:
- Puff Pastry Sheets (store-bought): One package (2 sheets), thawed according to package instructions.
- Apples: 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well), peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces.
- Brown Sugar: 1/4 cup, for sweetness and a bit of caramel flavor.
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon, for that warm spice flavor.
- Nutmeg (optional): A pinch for added warmth.
- Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon, to thicken the apple filling.
- Lemon Juice: 1 teaspoon, to balance the sweetness.
- Egg Wash: 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water, for brushing over the pastry.
- Powdered Sugar: For dusting on top (optional).
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apple Filling
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), cornstarch, and lemon juice.
- Mix Well: Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry. Cut each sheet into four equal squares.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.
Step 3: Fold and Seal the Turnovers
- Fold Over: Fold each pastry square into a triangle, enclosing the apple filling.
- Seal the Edges: Use a fork to press down the edges to seal, and poke a few small holes on top to allow steam to escape.
Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake
- Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the top of each turnover with the egg wash. This will give them a beautiful golden color.
- Bake: Place the turnovers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
- Cool and Serve: Let the turnovers cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Enjoy: These turnovers are best served warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
