Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced small
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and juices thicken, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle flour over apples and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 3 equal rectangles (about 4x6 inches each).
- Place about 2 tablespoons of apple filling in the center of each rectangle. Fold pastry over to form a triangle. Press edges with a fork to seal. Place turnovers on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut a small slit in the top of each turnover to vent steam.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
- You can substitute pears or peaches for apples.
