Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften slightly.
Add the cornstarch to the mixture and stir continuously for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the filling to thicken. Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares for a total of 12 squares.
Place a small spoonful of the cooled apple filling onto the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill, as this may cause the turnovers to burst open during baking.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, then press the edges together to seal them. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the turnovers to give them a golden, shiny finish.
Using a small knife, cut a tiny slit or two on top of each turnover to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the turnovers to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving.
