Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings (serving size 1 turnover)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
6 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
3 tablespoons canola oil
4 ladyfinger cookies, crushed, divided
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large nonstick pan cook the apples, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium heat stirring occasionally until the fruit is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the juices in the pan thicken. Set aside to cool.
  • Lay a sheet of phyllo onto a large cutting board and brush the dough with oil. Top with a second sheet and brush with oil. Sprinkle half the crushed cookies on top. Add another sheet of phyllo and brush with oil. Cut the phyllo into 4 long pieces. Put a small mound of the apple mixture about 1-inch from the bottom of 1 section and fold the phyllo over the mixture into a triangle-shaped pocket. Continue to fold to maintain the triangle shape so a turnover is formed. Repeat with the other 3 sections. Repeat the whole process again with 3 more sheets of phyllo so that you wind up with 8 turnovers. Be sure to reserve a little oil to brush the top of each turnover.
  • Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, place the turnovers on the sheet, brush the tops with the remaining oil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve warm.

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon grated orange zest
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 1/4 pounds tart apples, such as Empire or Granny Smith (3 apples)
3 tablespoons dried cherries
3 tablespoons sugar, plus extra to sprinkle on top
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch kosher salt
1 package (17.3 ounces, 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the orange zest and orange juice in a bowl. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and then cut them in 3/4-inch dice. Immediately toss the apples with the zest and juice to prevent them from turning brown. Add the cherries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Flour a board and lightly roll each sheet of puff pastry to a 12 by 12-inch square. Cut each sheet into 4 smaller squares and keep chilled until ready to use.
  • Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and neatly place about 1/3 cup of the apple mixture on half of the square. Fold the pastry diagonally over the apple mixture and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, make 2 small slits, and bake for 20 minutes, until browned and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Apple Turnovers using Phyllo Dough Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 12

Apple filling Ingredients:
4-5 medium apples(I usually use granny smith),diced, quite small
1-2 TBS butter (you can use a bit more or you can omit altogether)
2 tsp lemon/orange peel
1/4 cup -1/3 cup sugar (depending how tart your apples are...)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBS cornstarch
1/4 tsp - 1 tsp cinnamon, or to taste
You will also need:
1/2 pack of phyllo sheets
1/2 stick of butter (more or less), melted
powdered sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Peel and dice apples. In a medium saucepan, add apples,sugar,vanilla,orange/lemon peel, cinnamon and cornstarch. Heat on med-low stirring every so often . Cook for about 5 minutes or until the apple mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool. Remove phyllo dough from package and have a damp towel ready so you can keep the phyllo sheets covered as you work.They tend to dry out very quickly. Melt butter. Using a pastry brush, brush one phyllo sheet. Fold in half(vertical)and brush again. Fold again to form a long strip. Brush again with butter. On one edge, add about 1 1/2 TBS of apple filling. Roll in the form of a triangle...just like you would fold a flag. Brush the outside of the triangle phyllo turnover with extra butter. Place apple turnovers onto a cookie sheet... I like to use parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven at 375 deg F...for 15 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Check after about 10 minutes so that they won't burn. Oven temps vary. Let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

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.
