Description
Easy apple turnovers made with store-bought puff pastry and a simple apple filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into four equal squares.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture onto one half of each pastry square, leaving a small border.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a triangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Cut a small slit in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling for extra flavor.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
