Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Puff pastry sheet
- 3 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 25 grams Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat until the apples are tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Add this slurry to the apple mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, cut the pastry into 6 equal squares.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling in the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to create a decorative edge and ensure the seams are tightly sealed.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Dust the cooled Apfeltaschen with powdered sugar before serving.
