Recipe: Apple Turnovers

November 5, 2018 by admin 2 Comments

I posted these on Instagram and was asked for the recipe so here you go 🙂

Like I said, these aren’t “picture perfect pretty” but they sure are delicious!

Filling ingredients:

  • 3-8 apples depending on how big (about a panful) chopped into small cubes
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 3-5 tbsp cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp water

Pastry ingredients:

  • Puff Pastry dough (I buy mine frozen from a local Italian bakery)
  • 1 Egg White
  • Loose White Sugar

In a pan on medium-high heat, add chopped apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and water. Heat until the apples have softened and stir frequently. I find it helps to cover them for 1-2 mins because it makes the apples release their moisture, then I remove the lid and stir until they’re all the soft consistency I want.

I use ready-made puff pastry dough from a local Italian bakery. Don’t judge me, m’kay? I don’t have time to make it myself given how often we make these turnovers.

Roll out the puff pastry dough to about 12″ x 18″ and cut it into 6-8 even pieces. Honestly, you can make them whatever size or shape you want though.

One way is to make perfect rectangles (one for the bottom, one for the top) and spoon the apples onto one of them, then cover it with the other piece.

Another way is to make a larger rectangle or circle of dough, spoon the mixture onto one side, then fold the other half over. Honestly, any way you do it as long as there is apple covered by pastry is fine.

To make the top and bottom pastry stick to each other, just wet one side with a bit of water on your finger, and use a fork to press the edges down.

Brush egg white over the turnovers, sprinkle them with white sugar, and poke a little hole in the top.

Bake at 350 until golden brown (about 20-25 mins). I’d set a timer for 18 mins, then watch them from then on because they get overdone very quickly. You want to see the edges and tops turn golden before you take them out.

Enjoy!

____________

Note: pretty much all ingredients are modifiable to taste. Add more or less sugar, more or less spice, etc. I promise they’ll taste amazing no matter what you do. We’ve done these with peaches too, and strawberries.
