Easy Apple Turnovers Recipe

Apple Turnovers are a simple and delicious pastry that you can make with minimal ingredients. They typically involve filling puff pastry or pie dough with a spiced apple filling, then folding or sealing them into individual pockets and baking until golden brown. Here’s a basic recipe for making Easy Apple Turnovers:

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 1 large apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the diced apple, sugar, cinnamon, and flour. The flour helps thicken the filling and keeps it from becoming too runny.
3. Prepare Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 4 equal squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
4. Assemble Turnovers: Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle or rectangle, depending on your cut shape. Press the edges together with a fork to seal them.
5. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
