Ingredients
1 lb thawed puff pastry (2 sheets)
1 tablespoon flour for dusting
1 1/4 lb Granny Smith apples (peeled and diced into 1/3-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg plus 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
1/2 cup powdered sugar for the glaze
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream for the glaze
Instructions
1-In a pan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and cook the diced apples until they soften, about 5 minutes.
2-Reduce the heat, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, then simmer for 3 minutes until the mixture caramelizes.
3-Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely for better handling.
4-Roll out each pastry sheet to an 11-inch square and cut into 4 squares each.
5-Place the apple filling on one half of each square, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Beat the egg with water to make the egg wash and brush it on the edges.
6-Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle and seal the edges by crimping with a fork. Repeat to make 8 turnovers total.
7-Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart, cut 2-3 slits on top for steam vents, and brush with egg wash.
8-Bake for 20-23 minutes until golden and puffed. For the glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream and drizzle over the warm turnovers.
