Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Golden Delicious apples
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the Golden Delicious apples into small cubes.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Add the dried cranberries and shredded cheddar cheese to the cooled apple mixture. Stir to combine evenly.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out each puff pastry sheet to slightly thin it out. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares (12 squares total).
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the apple, cranberry, and cheddar filling onto the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner. Press the edges together and crimp them with a fork to seal.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top for added sweetness and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the turnovers cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
