Ingredients
Apple Turnover
- 1 (17.3-ounce) package Puff Pastry Sheets I like Pepperidge Farm best
- 4 to 5 large Granny Smith apples 1-3/4 pounds, 4 cups chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar or light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon coarse sugar or cinnamon sugar, for topping, optional
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk 1%, 2%, or whole recommended
Instructions
- Thaw puff pastry completely in the fridge.
- Peel apples, remove cores, and chop into 1/2-inch pieces or smaller. Toss chopped apples with lemon juice.
- In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and flour to create a thick paste. Mix in granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth. Pour mixture over prepared apples and gently toss to coat.
- Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll each piece into 12x12-inch squares (use a ruler if you have one!), then cut each 12x12 piece into 4 equal squares.
- Place 1/3 cup apple mixture on each square. Spread so the apples are in an even layer on the bottom third triangle of the dough (see photos in post). In a small bowl, whisk egg and water for egg wash, and brush edges of dough. Fold into triangles, and crimp edges with a fork. Cut 3 slits to vent.
- If desired, sprinkle with coarse or cinnamon sugar over each pastry (see note 1).
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Chill pastries on a parchment-lined sheet pan in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Place turnovers on baking sheets and bake for 15–18 minutes until light golden brown.
- While turnovers are baking, whisk glaze ingredients together until smooth, adding a bit more milk if necessary. Pour glaze into a small plastic bag and cut off the tip. Pipe or spoon glaze over slightly cooled turnovers.
- Enjoy while warm! Do not try to toast these later, but you can microwave for 5–10 seconds to reheat.
Notes
Note 1: To make your own cinnamon sugar, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately after making.
