Apple Turnovers
INGREDIENTS
Apple
Turnover Ingredients:
- 1 lb puff pastry (2 sheets) thawed according to package
instructions
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose
flour
for dusting
- 1 1/4 lb Granny Smith apples (3 medium) peeled, cored
and diced into 1/3" thick pieces
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1/2 tsp ground
cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 egg+ 1 Tbsp water for egg wash
For
the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered
sugar
- 1-2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Preheat Oven to 400˚F. Remove puff pastry
from the freezer and thaw according to instructions while making and cooling
the apple filling.
2.
In a medium pot, melt
1 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add diced apples and cook, stirring
occasionally until softened (5 min).
3.
Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup brown
sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and salt. Continue to simmer 3 minutes until apples
are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
4.
Use a rolling pin to
roll the first sheet of thawed pastry to an 11" square. With a pizza cutter, cut
into 4 equal-sized squares. Place cooled apple mixture over half of each
square, leaving at least a 1/2" border.
5.
Thoroughly Beat together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp
water. Brush eggwash lightly on edges of the pastry (just enough to seal),
bring the edges together and crimp tightly along the edges with a fork to seal.
6.
Transfer to a parchment-lined
baking sheet,
keeping them at least 1" apart. With a paring knife, cut 2-3 small slits
in the top of each turnover.* Brush the tops with egg wash and bake 20-23
minutes or until golden and puffed.
7.
While turnovers are still warm, stir together
powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream (adding to your desired consistency)
and drizzle glaze over turnovers.
