How to Make Vegan Apple Turnovers

For the Apples

1. In a medium sauce pan on medium heat, add the apples, ¼ cup water, 3 tablespoon butter, cinnamon, and vanilla and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for approximate 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. While the apples are cooking, whisk the cornstarch and 3 tablespoon water together in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Stir into the apples until fully incorporated. Cook the apples for five more minutes, or until they’re tender. Remove from the heat.

To Construct the Turnovers

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C)
2. Take the pastry sheets out of the box and lay flat. Place a clean damp cloth over the sheets to prevent them from drying out.
3. In a small dish, melt the remaining 3 tablespoon of butter and have a small dish of water and a pastry brush next to your work area
4. On a piece of parchment paper, peel two pieces of dough from the stack and lay them flat.
5. Fold them in half vertically.
6. Fold the vertical piece in half so it looks like a square.
7. Fill the center of the square with a half cup of apple filling. You an add more if you want them to be really full, but remember that you will only be able to make approximately 4 turnovers.
8. Brush a very thin layer of water on the edges of the dough so they stick together.
9. Fold one corner of the dough over the apple filling to form a triangle.
10. Brush a thin layer of the melted butter over the top. Repeat with the remaining apple filling.
11. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are puffy and golden brown. Let them cool for 10 minutes before eating.
