Apple Turnovers

These Homemade Apple Turnovers are simply delicious! They disappear really fast at our house, so make sure to prepare enough! This recipe is for homemade apple filling, but if you’re in a rush, you can always use your favorite canned pie filling. I do it all the time!

 Ingredients

5 large apples peeled, cored and diced
4 tablespoons of water
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1 beaten egg
4 sheets of frozen puff pastry thawed or a pack of puff pastry (the one you need to roll) thawed

Frosting

6 tablespoons of icing sugar
2 tablespoons of water
1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
Mix icing sugar, water and vanilla extract until smooth. Add water or icing sugar if necessary.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the apples, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract to a saucepan.
Cover and cook at medium heat for about 10 minutes or until apples are soft. Stir often.

Place your 4 sheets of puffed pastry on top of each other and cut them  in 6 rectangles. If you’re using the puff pastry you need to roll, then flower your working surface, roll both pieces of pastry dough in a rectangle, cut each rectangle in 4 smaller rectangles.

Divide the apple mixture between the 6 rectangles of puff pastry.
Brush the sides of the pastry with egg wash, close to make a triangle and fold both open sides to seal.

Place on a baking sheet on a piece of parchment paper. Brush the top with egg wash, and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the turnovers cool down for about 10 minutes and drizzle with frosting.

Hope you enjoy my Apple Turnovers!
