Servings 8 turnovers

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar, packed
  • 3 teaspoons white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • teaspoons cornstarch
  • egg wash
  • turbinado sugar
  • 1 package puff pastry (1lb, 2 sheets)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, for glaze
  • splash of milk, for glaze

Instructions
 

  • Place puff pastry out a room temperature to allow sheets to thaw (follow box instructions)
  • Peel and core your apples. Cut into 8 wedges and dice into small pieces.
  • Add in sugars and cinnamon and mix thoroughly, making sure all the apples are coated
  • In a large saucepan add in the butter and let it melt on medium heat. Once melted add in the cinnamon, sugar coated apples
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (or follow puff pastry box instructions)
  • Cook the apples down until they start to soften, about 10 minutes. In a bowl mix together 2 teaspoons water with cornstarch to make a slurry. Add this slurry into apple mixture - stir until apple mixture thickens and is glistening. Turn the heat off, cover, and set aside.
  • In a bowl mix together 1 egg with a teaspoon of water to create an egg wash.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet until about 12"x12". Cut the sheet into 4 equal squares. Do the same with other sheet of puff pastry
  • In each square place ⅛ of apple mixture on one triangle half. Brush all the edges with egg wash and then fold over into a triangle pressing the edges together with your finger. Crimp edges with fork to completely seal.
  • Do this with the remaining 8 pastries and place onto a nonstick or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Keep them about an inch apart for expansion.
  • Cut 2-3 slits into top of each pastry with knife (to allow steam to escape) and then brush the tops with egg wash. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on all the pastries
  • Bake in 400°F oven for 15-18 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  • In a small bowl mix together powdered sugar and just a splash of milk - start with ½ teaspoon and continue adding little by little until you have thick, slightly runny icing consistency. A little milk goes a long way
  • Drizzle turnovers with icing a few minutes after they are out of the oven
  • Serve while turnovers are warm and pastry is fresh and airy.
  • Enjoy!
