Ingredients
Method
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine your diced apples, sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix until apples are well-coated.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to prevent sticking.
- Cut the pastry into 4 squares.
- Place a generous amount of apple filling (about 1/2 cup) in the center of each square.
- Fold each pastry square over the apple filling, forming a triangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal them.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to make an egg wash.
- Brush the top of each Apple Turnover with the egg wash. This will give it a golden-brown finish.
- Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until they're golden brown.
Notes
TIPS
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or clove to the apple filling.
- If you want a glossier finish, sprinkle a bit of granulated sugar on top of each turnover after applying the egg wash.
- Ensure your puff pastry is cold (but not frozen) when working with it. This ensures the pastry puffs up nicely when baked.
- To avoid a soggy bottom, always use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Serve your Apple Turnovers fresh out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
- A dusting of powdered sugar on top can add an extra touch of sweetness and looks great too!
- Complement your dessert with a cup of black tea or coffee, heightening the Apple Turnover experience.
