Ingredients
For the Turnovers:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (about 4 medium Granny Smith apples)
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar (55g)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 heets frozen puff pastry thawed (one 17.3oz/490g package)
- Egg wash (1 large egg + 1 teaspoon water, beaten)
For the Glaze: (optional)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar (180g)
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
For the Turnovers:
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the apples, and cook for a few minutes while stirring frequently. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and stir to coat apple pieces. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the apples are softened and become syrupy. Reduce the heat to low.
- Sprinkle in the cornstarch and stir until the juices boil and thicken, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Let cool for 15 minutes then refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- When the apples are chilled, roll each thawed puff pastry sheet out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch square. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
- Place a square of puff pastry on the baking sheet and brush the edges of each square with the egg wash. Place a few tablespoons of filling in each square. Fold one point of the puff pastry over the filling to the opposite point, creating a triangle. Crimp and seal in the filling by pressing the lines of a fork along both straight edges. Brush the top with more egg wash and cut a few small slits in the top. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and puffed. Let cool for at least 15 minutes.
For the Glaze:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and water and whisk until smooth. You can add a bit more water if the consistency needs to be thinned out. Drizzle over the warm turnovers and enjoy!
Notes
- Glaze after cooling slightly. Make sure you give the apple turnovers enough time to cool before adding the glaze. You can glaze warm turnovers, but the glaze will melt off if the turnovers are piping hot.
- Easy way to decorate with glaze. You can add the glaze to a piping bag or ziptop bag with the corner cut to easily drizzle the glaze over the turnovers.
- Add some spice: After brushing the turnovers with egg wash, sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar for added fall flavor.
