Servings 4
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
Apple Turnovers:
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed *Most packages contain two sheets - this recipe uses one sheet.
- 2 tsp unsalted butter
- 2 apples, peeled & diced
- 2-3 tbsp brown sugar, depending on the sweetness of the apples *I used Honey Crisp apples
- ¼ tsp grown cinnamon
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- ½ tsp cornstarch
- 1 egg, well beaten
- Turbinado sugar, to taste
Cinnamon Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tsp milk, to taste & desired thickness
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Take one puff pastry out of the freezer to thaw, per package instructions. (Mine took about 30 minutes).
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and sprinkle the cornstarch on top and stir until well combined. Pour the apples into a bowl and place them in the refrigerator to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently roll out the puff pastry to be slightly larger then cut them into 4 squares.
- Brush a thin layer of beaten egg on 2 joining sides of each square.
- Divide the apple mixture between all squares then fold each square in half creating a triangle and gently seal the edges with your fingers or a fork. Transfer to the lined baking sheet.
- Brush each turnover with the egg wash then sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Place into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool on a rack for a few minutes. Side Note: Place the rack of turnovers on top of parchment paper prior to glazing for easier cleanup.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a bowl; mix until creamy and smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the turnovers and serve. Enjoy.
