Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 5 medium apples
Pastry
- 1 lb puff pastry
Sugar
- 1 cup sugar (or cinnamon sugar for extra flavor)
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients: apples, puff pastry, sugar, and an egg.
- Prepare Apples: Peel the apples and slice each into 8-10 pieces. Set them aside for filling.
- Prepare Pastry: On a well-floured surface, roll out the puff pastry dough evenly. Cut the pastry sheet into 8 equal squares.
- Assemble Turnovers: Place 4-5 apple slices in the center of each pastry square. Sprinkle a spoonful of sugar over the apples.
- Seal Turnovers: Fold each pastry square over the apples to form small pockets. Press the edges to seal them tightly.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the formed turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash to create a golden, shiny crust.
- Add Final Touch: Sprinkle additional sugar on top of each turnover for extra sweetness and a bit of crunch.
- Bake: Bake the turnovers in a preheated oven at 415°F (about 210°C) for approximately 15 minutes until they are puffed up and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before enjoying your warm, flaky apple turnovers.
Notes
- Using an egg wash helps seal the turnovers and gives the crust a beautiful golden color.
- You can substitute cinnamon sugar for regular sugar to add a warm spice flavor.
- Make sure the puff pastry is well chilled before rolling to make handling easier and to achieve better puffing.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
