Bake these delightful apple turnovers for a taste of fall. They are flaky, buttery, and filled with sweet, spiced apples. Perfect for a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four equal squares.
  5. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the apple filling onto one half of each pastry square, leaving a small border.
  6. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  7. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
  8. If desired, sprinkle with turbinado sugar for extra crunch.
  9. Cut a few small slits in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed.
  11. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use a variety of apples like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji.
  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of allspice or ginger to the apple filling.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
