Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
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 tender and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Roll each sheet slightly to remove creases, then cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling into the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, then seal the edges by pressing them with a fork. Make small slits on the top of each turnover to help release steam while baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of each turnover to help them achieve a golden brown color in the oven.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Allow the turnovers to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
