Apple Turnover Recipe
Simple apple and puff pastry delights!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, chopped or sliced into small pieces
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 4 Tbsp sugar
- 18 oz puff pastry see notes
- 1 egg white omit for vegan
- 1 Tbsp coarse sugar or powdered sugar, as needed for decoration
- fresh whipped cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- Place the apples, lemon juice and sugar in a pot over medium heat and cover with a lid.
- Toss to turn a few times, but only steam them for a few minutes, just to soften them a little. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Roll one sheet of puff pastry into a square and cut into 4 squares (repeat with the other one afterwards-keep it in the fridge for now.)
- On one piece of puff pastry, put about 2 tablespoonfuls of apple filling. Imagine that there is a line diagonally across the pastry and keep the filling on one triangle of the square.
- Wet two edges of the puff pastry with your finger dipped in water. Then fold the empty corner of the pastry over the apples and seal the edges with a fork. With a knife, make a small slit or two in the top of the pastry.
- Repeat with the rest of the apples and pastry, and place on lined baking sheet. Brush with a very slightly beaten egg white (do not let it get frothy, just to make it easier to brush), and sprinkle with a coarse sugar. Another option is to omit the sprinkled sugar and just dust the apple turnover with powdered sugar after baking.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 mins. until golden brown.
- Allow to cool if filling with fresh cream or the cream will melt. Slice the top part of the pastry open, without cutting the top off completely.
- Fill with freshly whipped, unsweetened cream. (Add a dusting of powdered sugar if you like.)
Notes
- Puff pastry instructions: 16-18 oz pkg cut into 5" x 5" (12.5 cm x 12.5 cm) squares
- Tip: if you have two sheets of puff pastry, keep the one you're not working with in the fridge as it's more difficult to work with when it gets warm.
- Note: omit the egg white for vegan turnovers if using vegan puff pastry.
- I recommend Trader Joe's frozen puff pastry as it is made with butter, however, it is only seasonal.
