Fresh Baked Apple Turnovers
Fresh Baked Apple Turnovers are a classic fall dessert with puff pastry, spiced apples, and a golden sugar topping.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
- 1½ granny smith apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- ¼ cup brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
- sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut puff pastry into 6 equal squares. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate.
- In a medium bowl, mix apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Let sit 10–15 minutes.
- Remove pastry squares from refrigerator. Spoon apple mixture onto one diagonal half of each square.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg and water to make egg wash.
- Brush edges of pastry with egg wash. Fold over to form triangles. Press edges to seal.
- Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Keep Pastry Cold
Cold pastry bakes up flakier. Keep the cut squares in the refrigerator until ready to fill.
Don’t Overfill
Use a small portion of apple filling in each square so the pastry seals well.
Use Parchment Paper
This makes cleanup easier and keeps the turnovers from sticking.
