Instructions

  • 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
  1. For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or clove to the apple filling.
  2. If you want a glossier finish, sprinkle a bit of granulated sugar on top of each turnover after applying the egg wash.
  3. Ensure your puff pastry is cold (but not frozen) when working with it. This ensures the pastry puffs up nicely when baked.
  4. To avoid a soggy bottom, always use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
  • 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.
