Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 15 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch.
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples have softened slightly and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted. Let the filling cool to room temperature.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold or roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the apple filling into the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over to the opposite corner. Press the edges together to seal, then crimp them with a fork to ensure they are fully sealed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each turnover with the egg wash.
Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit or two on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
Place the turnovers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
