Ingredients
- 1 (17.3 ounce) box frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch slices (I use a combination of Granny Smith and Honey Crisp)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small pieces
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- milk, for brushing
For the Vanilla Glaze
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the apple slices in a medium bowl; toss with lemon juice. Scatter the butter pieces over the apples. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Stir the sugar mixture into the apples.
- Unwrap each of the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 4 squares, about 5 inches each. Spoon the apple filling onto the center of each square. You probably will not use all of the apple filling, so you can sauté any leftovers in a skillet of butter!
- Brush the edges with milk and fold over to make a triangle. Seal and crimp with the tines of a fork. Arrange the turnovers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
Cup of Yum
To Make the Vanilla Glaze
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Transfer the glaze to a piping bag or Ziploc bag, snip off the corner, and drizzle over the cooled turnovers.
Notes
- Keep the puff pastry nice and cold so that it stays flaky and puffy (rather than dense) when baked.
- Since this is a no-cook filling (making it very easy!), it's important to slice the apples very thin so that they soften by the time the turnovers come out of the oven.
