Apple Cinnamon Turnovers
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well), peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp butter
For the Turnovers:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp water
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting, or a drizzle of vanilla glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until apples are soft but not mushy. Add the cornstarch and cook another 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool. - Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into four equal squares. - Fill the Turnovers:
Place a spoonful of apple filling in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold each square into a triangle, pressing down the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look. - Brush with Egg Wash:
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the top of each turnover with the egg wash for a golden finish. - Bake the Turnovers:
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, until they are puffed up and golden brown. - Serve:
Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with vanilla glaze if desired.
