Quick Apple Turnovers (4 Ingredients)
Description
The Quick Apple Turnovers (4 Ingredients) recipe combines peeled, sliced apples with sugar or cinnamon sugar, filled into puff pastry squares. The pastry is folded over the fruit to form small hand pies, then brushed with egg wash for a shiny, browned finish after baking at 415°F. The hot oven quickly crisps the layers of puff pastry while gently softening the apples inside, providing a balance of flaky crust and tender fruit.
The sugar topping caramelizes slightly on the pastry surface, adding a touch of extra sweetness and crunch. These turnovers are ideal for a simple homemade dessert or pastry to accompany tea or coffee. Their individual size makes them easy to serve and share.
Using an egg wash helps seal the turnovers and enhances browning. Baking until golden ensures the pastry is cooked through without sogginess from the apples’ juices. The recipe’s minimal ingredient list keeps it approachable without sacrificing the turnover’s classic flavor and texture.

- 5 apple medium
- 1 lb puff pastry
- 1 cup sugar (you can also use cinnamon sugar)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Peel and slice the apples into 8-10 pieces and set them aside.
- Roll out the pastry dough on a well-floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 8 equal pieces and place 4-5 pieces of apple in the center of each. Top with a spoonful of sugar.
- Fold the dough over the apples, creating tiny pockets. Place each pie on a lined baking sheet. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and brush the tops of each pie with the whisked eggs. Sprinkle on some more sugar.
- Bake the pies at 415°F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
Notes
- Applying an egg wash helps seal the turnovers and promotes a golden finish.
- Using cinnamon sugar instead of plain sugar adds a warm spice note to the filling.
- Place turnovers on a lined baking sheet to prevent sticking during baking.
- Ensure apples are sliced thinly to allow even cooking inside the puff pastry pockets.
