Description
Delicious homemade apple turnovers filled with cinnamon-spiced apples and drizzled with a sweet vanilla icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 granny smith apples (peeled and diced, about 2 cups)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Mix diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add apples and cook, stirring often about 5 minutes or until apples are softened.
- Place in a bowl and cool completely. Pop the bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes to speed up the cooling process.
- Remove one sheet of puff pastry from the refrigerator, leaving one sheet in the refrigerator to stay chilled. Lightly flour a clean surface and place the puff pastry over the flour. Dust the top lightly with a bit more flour.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the puff pastry into about a 10 x 12 inch rectangle.
- Cut the puff pastry into 4 squares using a pizza wheel.
- Beat egg and water together in a small bowl.
- Spoon apple pie filling into the center of each square.
- Brush the edges of each puff pastry square with egg wash.
- Fold puff pastry over apple filling into a triangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges to seal.
- Place turnovers onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart.
- Use a sharp knife to cut a couple of small slits in the top of each pastry.
- Brush all over with egg wash.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven to a wire rack and cool slightly.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl with a whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle over apple turnovers.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Preheat air fryer at 400° for 5 minutes.
- Place turnovers into an air fryer basket with space in between.
- Cook for 7-8 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack, drizzle with icing.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Notes
- For a flakier pastry, make sure the puff pastry remains cold while handling.
- These turnovers can be stored in an airtight container for a few days, but are best served fresh.
