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°F. Thaw the puff pastry according to package instructions while preparing the apple filling.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Lower the heat and mix in the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Simmer for 3 minutes until the apples are soft and caramelized, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Flour the counter lightly and roll the first sheet of thawed puff pastry into an 11" square. Cut into 4 equal squares.
- Place the cooled apple mixture over one half of each square, leaving a 1/2" border around the edges.
- Whisk the egg and water to create an egg wash, and brush it on the edges of the pastry squares to seal them. Crimp the edges with a fork to secure.
- Repeat the process with the second sheet of puff pastry.
- Arrange the turnovers on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced 1" apart. Cut 2-3 small slits in the tops to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the tops with the egg wash and bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm turnovers.
Notes
For a touch of extra flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling.
Make sure to let the turnovers cool slightly before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting away.
