Puff Pastry Apple Turnovers Recipes

APPLE TURNOVER RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the apples, lemon juice and sugar in a pot over medium heat and cover with a lid.
• Toss to turn a few times, but only steam them for a few minutes, just to soften them a little. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• On one piece of puff pastry, put about 2 tablespoonfuls of apple filling. (Tip: if you have two sheets of puff pastry, keep the one you're not working with in the fridge as it's more difficult to work with when it gets warm.) Imagine that there is a line diagonally across the pastry and keep the filling on one triangle of the square.
• Wet two edges of the puff pastry with your finger dipped in water. Then fold the empty corner of the pastry over the apples and seal the edges with a fork. With a knife, make a small slit or two in the top of the pastry.
• Repeat with the rest of the apples and pastry, and place on lined baking sheet. Brush with a very slightly beaten egg white (do not let it get frothy, just to make it easier to brush), and sprinkle with a coarse sugar. Another option is to omit the sprinkled sugar and just dust the apple turnover with powdered sugar after baking.
• Bake for approximately 20-25 mins. until golden brown.
• Allow to cool if filling with fresh cream or the cream will melt. Slice the top part of the pastry open, without cutting the top off completely.
• Fill with freshly whipped, unsweetened cream. (Add a dusting of powdered sugar if you like.)

APPLE TURNOVER RECIPE

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 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 TURNOVERS WITH PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• Peel and core the apples.
• Cut them into quarters, then chop into small cubes - either with a knife or a vegetable cutter.
• Melt the butter, then add the chopped apples and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
• Add the sugar, cinnamon and lemon extract, and continue to stir for a further 1-2 minutes, or until soft.
• Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
• Roll out the puff pastry, cut 6 squares, then add about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each square.
• Fold the pastry across diagonally to form a triangle, and use a fork to press the edges to seal.
• Beat the egg well, then brush all over the pasties.
• Use a sharp knife or a fork to make a few cuts on top of the pastry - that will allow the steam to escape during baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes or until golden.

PUFF PASTRY APPLE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon; add apples and toss to coat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet into a 12-in. square. Cut each into four squares. , Spoon 1/2 cup apple mixture into the center of each square; fold diagonally in half and press edges to seal. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet., In a small bowl, combine the butter, sugar and cinnamon; brush over pastry. Bake at 400° for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream if desired.

APPLE TURNOVERS

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.

APPLE TURNOVERS

• In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in 1/4 cup butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12x6-in. rectangle., Cut remaining butter into thin slices.

Press edges with a fork to seal. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg mixture. With a sharp knife, cut three small slits in the top of each turnover., Bake until golden brown, 17-22 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over turnovers. Serve warm.
