Ingredients

For the turnovers

  • 1 package puff pastries 2 sheets, thawed
  • 3 Granny Smith apples peeled and diced
  • 1 T unsalted butter
  • ¼ c brown sugar
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • ½ t salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 T water

For the glaze

  • ½ c powdered sugar
  • 2 T heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the diced apples with the butter, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Heat over medium low until the juices are released and apples are tender, about 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, carefully unpackage the puff pastries and lay flat on your work surface.
  • Cut the pastry sheet into fourths, cutting in half one direction and then in half the other direction - creating 4 squares. Repeat with the other pastry sheet for 8 turnovers.
  • Scoop a spoonful of the apple filling into the center of each pastry square, draining off excess liquid.
  • In a small bowl, combine the egg and water. Whisk well.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the inside edge of the pastry to help seal.
  • Fold over the pastry to close diagonally. Gently press and then use the prongs of a fork to seal the entire edge.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut small inserts in the top of each pastry.
