Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (frozen, thawed)
- 2 pieces Apples (medium, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.33 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 piece Egg (beaten for egg wash)
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Water
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, cinnamon, and flour. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each into four equal squares (you will have 8 squares total).
Place a heaping tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each square.
Brush the edges of the pastry squares with a small amount of water and fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny finish.
Using a sharp knife, make a small slit on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and flaky.
Remove the turnovers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
If desired, dust the turnovers with powdered sugar before serving.
