Flaky Apple Foldovers Recipes

APPLE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F (205C)
• Break your chilled pie dough into two pieces that are roughly the same size.
• Transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll one piece into a rectangle about ⅛" thick.
• Using a pizza cutter (or a knife and a straight-edge, such as a clean ruler), neatly cut dough int 4.5" squares and transfer to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet (you will need to gather the scraps and re-roll them out to make all 10 turnovers).
• Place squares on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and return to the refrigerator.
• Repeat rolling and cutting with your second half of pie dough.
• Prepare your apple filling by combining your apples, brown sugar, and butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Stir frequently until butter is melted, then add cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
• Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool (at least 15-20 minutes) before proceeding.
• Prepare egg wash by combining egg and teaspoon of water in a small dish and stir/scramble well.
• Lightly brush the insides of your pastry squares with egg wash.
• Portion about 2-3 Tablespoons of apple pie filling into the center of each square. Gently fold over one corner to the other to envelope the apple filling. Use the tines of a fork to press and seal the turnovers.
• Brush the outside lightly with egg wash, cut small slits across to vent, and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
• Bake on 400F (205C) oven for 25 minutes, until pastry is beginning to turn golden brown.
• Allow to cool before drizzling with glaze.

APPLE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon and 4 cups water in a large bowl. Place the sliced apples in the water to keep them from browning.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain water from apples, and place them into the hot skillet. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Add brown sugar, and cinnamon, and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Pour into the skillet, and mix well. Cook for another minute, or until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Unfold puff pastry sheets, and repair any cracks by pressing them back together. Trim each sheet into a square. Then cut each larger square into 4 smaller squares. Spoon apples onto the center of each squares. Fold over from corner to corner into a triangle shape, and press edges together to seal. Place turnovers on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until turnovers are puffed and lightly browned. Cool completely before glazing.
• To make the glaze, mix together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl. Adjust the thickness by adding more sugar or milk if necessary. Drizzle glaze over the cooled turnovers.

APPLE CHEDDAR FOLDOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Open and unroll crescent rolls onto pan.
• Spread a light layer of cream cheese onto each crescent triangle.
• Top each with a couple slices of apple. I used a granny smith. (it stayed mostly crunchy during baking)
• Top with 1/2 slice of cheddar cheese.
• Fold over bottoms of triangles. Bake in oven at 375F for 11-13 minutes or until crescents are golden.
