Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 5 medium apples, peeled and sliced into 8-10 pieces each
- 1 cup sugar (or cinnamon sugar for extra flavor)
Dough and Topping
- 1 lb puff pastry sheet
- 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients: apples, puff pastry, sugar, and egg.
- Prepare Apples: Peel the apples and slice each into 8-10 pieces. Set these slices aside for assembly.
- Roll and Cut Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a well-floured surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal squares to form the base for each turnover.
- Fill Pastry: Place 4-5 apple slices in the center of each square. Sprinkle a spoonful of sugar over the apples to add sweetness and help caramelize.
- Form Turnovers: Fold each pastry square over the apples to create a pocket. Seal the edges carefully to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the turnovers on a lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the whisked egg to achieve a shiny, golden crust. Sprinkle additional sugar on top if desired.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 415°F (210°C) and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm, flaky apple turnovers!
Notes
- You can use an egg wash to help seal the edges of the turnovers for a better hold during baking.
- Using cinnamon sugar instead of plain sugar adds a nice warm spice to the apple filling.
- Make sure the puff pastry is chilled before rolling for best results.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
