Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (2 sheets) Puff Pastry, Thawed
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 3 medium Apples (Peeled, Cored & Diced)
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Flour
- 1 Egg + 1 tbsp Water
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1–2 tbsp Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Thaw puff pastry according to package instructions while preparing the apple filling.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. Simmer for 3 minutes until the apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Dust the counter with flour. Roll out the first sheet of thawed puff pastry to an 11" square. Cut into 4 equal squares using a pizza cutter.
- Place the cooled apple mixture over half of each square, leaving a 1/2" border.
- Whisk together egg and water to create the egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry lightly with egg wash to seal, and crimp with a fork.
- Repeat the rolling and filling process with the second sheet of puff pastry.
- Transfer the turnovers onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping them at least 1" apart. Cut 2-3 small slits in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
- To prepare the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until you achieve a desired consistency, then drizzle over the baked turnovers.
Notes
Ensure puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to avoid tearing.
Feel free to add raisins or nuts to the apple filling for extra flavor and texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
