Recipe by Maureen O’Leary from All Recipes: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/59124/apple-turnovers/
INGREDIENTS
- 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 tbs butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbs cornstarch
- 1 (17.25 oz) pack frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg (glaze)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Peel and thinly slice apples.
- In large skillet on medium heat, melt butter. Cook apples for 5min.
- Add brown sugar and cinnamon, stir and cook for 5min.
- Stir in cornstarch and cook until sauce has thickened, ~5min (add water if too thick). Remove from heat and cool.
- Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Whisk egg for glaze.
- Unfold puff pastry. Cut each square sheet into 4 smaller squares.
- Spoon apple mixture onto each square. Fold pastry from corner to corner into a triangle and seal edges.
- Place turnovers on baking sheet and brush with egg. Bake for 20-25min or until turnovers are puffed and golden.
Thoughts
Make sure puff pastry is thawed in fridge before starting. I skipped soaking the apples in water, cut brown sugar down to 2/3 cup. Apple cooking and reducing took longer than listed, skipped adding water. Can split prep by making apple mixture ahead of time. I used a fork to crimp the turnover edges. Baking for 20min was enough. I had lots of leftover apple pie flavored apples that I ate with yogurt and in oatmeal.
