Apple Turnovers
These easy apple turnovers make for the perfect fall pastry! The puff pastry is loaded with a sweet cinnamon apple filling and baked to a crisp perfection. The baking process is made easy thanks to the premade puff pastry, making it a must-try!
Ingredients
filling:
- 4 granny smith apples peeled and diced (1 lb unpeeled)
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
apple turnover:
- 2 square puff pastry sheets
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp water
glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp milk or lemon juice see notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F at step 2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the ingredients for the filling to a saucepan and stir. Cook over medium/low heat until the apples are tender, not mushy, about 5 minutes. Set the filling aside to completely cool.
- Cut the pastry sheets - cut each puff pastry sheet into four equal parts, resulting in eight squares.
- Spoon the apple filling onto one corner of the square. Fold over the corner and press down with a fork to seal the turnover.
- Whisk the egg and water, and brush the top of the turnover. If desired, cut slashes in each turnover (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Combine the powdered sugar with the milk for the glaze. Once cooled, drizzle the glaze.
Notes
- Only drizzle the turnovers once they are cooled completely.
- For a sweeter glaze, use milk for the liquid. If you like a hint of lemon, use lemon juice for a tangy glaze.
- Serve the apple turnover with vanilla ice cream for an incredible combination.
