๐Ÿ This Apple Turnover recipe offers sweet, flaky pastries bursting with tender, caramelized apple filling.
๐Ÿฅ Easy step-by-step preparation makes it perfect for homemade treats that impress with minimal effort.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 turnovers 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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.

Notes

๐Ÿฅš Use egg wash to seal pastry edges and prevent filling leakage.
โ„๏ธ Refrigerate assembled turnovers uncovered for 20 minutes before baking to help them hold shape.
๐ŸงŠ Freeze assembled turnovers without egg wash on a flat sheet; bake from frozen after adding egg wash, increasing bake time to 25 minutes.
