Delicious Apple Turnovers
Apple turnovers are a delightful way to enjoy the goodness of apples wrapped in a flaky pastry. These treats are not only easy to make but also perfect for serving as a dessert or snack. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups diced apples (Granny Smith work great)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 package of puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the apples are well coated.
- Roll out one sheet of the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares that are about 4-5 inches wide.
- Place a generous spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill.
- Fold the pastry over to create a triangle and pinch the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra decorative touch.
- Brush the tops of each turnover with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors!”
