Provided by Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com

Categories     Easy

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb puff pastry ((2 sheets) thawed according to package instructions)
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 1/4 lb Granny Smith apples
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg+ 1 Tbsp water for egg wash
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 400˚F. Remove puff pastry from the freezer and thaw according to instructions while making and cooling the apple filling.
  • In a medium pot, melt 1 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add diced apples and cook, stirring occasionally until softened (5 min).
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and salt. Continue to simmer 3 minutes until apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the first sheet of thawed pastry to an 11" square. With a pizza cutter, cut into 4 equal-sized squares. Place cooled apple mixture over half of each square, leaving at least a 1/2" border.
  • Thoroughly Beat together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp water. Brush eggwash lightly on edges of the pastry (just enough to seal), bring the edges together and crimp tightly along the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the second sheet of puff pastry to make 8 turnovers.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping them at least 1" apart. With a paring knife, cut 2-3 small slits in the top of each turnover.* Brush the tops with egg wash and bake 20-23 minutes or until golden and puffed.
  • While turnovers are still warm, stir together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream (adding to your desired consistency) and drizzle glaze over turnovers.

APPLE TURNOVER



Apple Turnover image

You can never go wrong with Chuck Hughes ' tender apple turnover topped with delectable sheep's cheese.

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons/45ml butter
3 tablespoons/45ml brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon/2ml cinnamon
6 apples, such as Honeycrisp, Cortland, Spartan or Empire, peeled, halved, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 pound/450g puff pastry
All-purpose flour, for the work surface
2 eggs
2 tablespoons/30ml confectioners' sugar, sifted
Soft, fresh sheep's or goat's milk cheese, yogurt or ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the apple filling: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and apples and cook until the apples are caramelized and have started to soften, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool, then keep in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • For the turnover: Roll out the puff pastry to 10 by 10-inch square with a 1/8-inch (3mm) thickness on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the apple filling over half the pastry, leaving a border around the edge. Beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon water for the egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry lightly with some of the egg wash. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal and enclose the filling completely, then press with the back of a fork to make a tight seal. Using a small knife, cut two 1/2-inch-long slits in the top of the crust. Brush the top with the egg wash.
  • Bake the turnover until the crust is puffed and golden and the juices are bubbling through the slits in the crust, about 25 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the turnover with the confectioners' sugar. Turn the oven to broil, and cook until the sugar is caramelized, watching it closely so it doesn't burn. This will give the turnover a browned crust. Carefully run a metal spatula under the turnover to loosen and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • To serve, cut the turnover into wedges and serve warm with a dollop of cheese, yogurt or ice cream.

APPLE TURNOVERS

Treat family and friends to these moreish apple turnovers. With an apple and cinnamon filling encased in puff pastry, they're delicious served with ice cream

Provided by Katie Hiscock

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium-large Bramley apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
50g golden caster sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp butter
1 Gala or sweet dessert apple, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm dice
320g pack puff pastry
2 tbsp milk to glaze
2 tsp demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Put the Bramley apple, sugar and cinnamon in a small pan with 1 tbsp water. Cover with a lid and simmer over a low heat for 10-15 mins until the apple breaks down and turns into a compote.
  • Stir in the butter and the Gala apple and cook for a further 5 mins, uncovered, until the Gala apple is just soft but retaining its shape, and any excess water has evaporated to make a thick compote around the Gala chunks. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unravel the puff pastry sheet out on a work surface, and cut into 4 even rectangles. Divide the apple filling to one side of each of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1cm border. Brush the border with milk and fold over the empty side of pastry over the filling and crimp together. Brush with more milk and sprinkle over the sugar. Make a small steam hole in the middle of the turnovers.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool for 10 mins on a wire rack (the filling will be molten when it first comes out the oven) before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or serve at room temperature. Keep for 2 days in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a firm, tart apple such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a combination of spices: To enhance the flavor of the apples, use a mixture of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Don't overcook the apples: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry: The puff pastry is what gives the apple turnovers their flaky, golden crust. Make sure to use a puff pastry that is made with all-butter.
  • Brush the turnovers with egg wash: This will help them brown beautifully in the oven.
  • Serve the turnovers warm: Apple turnovers are best served warm, when the apples are still gooey and the crust is crispy.

Conclusion:

Apple turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of flaky, golden pastries that are filled with sweet, tart apples.
