Description
Delicious homemade apple turnovers filled with a spiced apple mixture and topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups peeled & finely diced apples
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed (17 oz package)
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp water
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 Tbsp milk or water
Instructions
- Peel and finely dice the apples into ½ inch pieces.
- Combine the diced apples, butter, brown sugar and all spices & cornstarch in a skillet over medium-low heat on the stove. Stir occasionally while mixture simmers, 5-7 minutes or until the apples are tender. Note: you can make the apple filling up to 3 days ahead of time and store in the fridge until ready to use.
- Allow the puff pastry to thaw to room temperature according to the package instructions. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Working with one sheet at a time, use a rolling pin to roll the pastry into a 15 by 10 inch rectangle. Divide the pastry into 6 even squares that are about 5×5 inches.
- Combine the egg and water in a small dish to make the egg wash. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash along the outside of each square.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple filling onto each square. Fold the puff pastry over, creating a triangle. Use a fork to firmly crimp the edges together. Brush each turnover with egg wash and add 2 vent slits with a knife.
- Transfer the turnovers to a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Bake at 400ºF for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
- Allow the turnovers to cool for 10-15 minutes before adding the glaze.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the powdered sugar and milk. If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar 1-2 teaspoons at a time, if the glaze is too thick add more liquid 1-2 teaspoons at a time. Drizzle over the turnovers.
Notes
- The apple filling can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling it out.
