How to Make Apple Turnovers

If you love apple turnovers but hate the higher prices, you'll find this article very informative. You can make your own apple turnovers - apple pieces with apple pie-filling-like liquid wrapped inside a flaky crust and then sealed along the edges - to avoid making a costly purchase.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored and sliced)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets (thawed)
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparing the Turnovers

  1. 1
    Set aside the puff pastry sheets for thawing, if you haven't already done so. The puff pastry sheets need to be thawed out before you use them, which can take some time to happen.
  2. 2
    Prepare the apple mixture for the filling. Mix together the lemon juice, the four cups of water and the apples.
    • Placing the apples in the mixture not only gives it taste, but it also prevents the apples from browning.

    Prepare the sauce. Melt the butter, drain out the water and lemon juice mixture from the apples and place the apples in a hot skillet, along with the butter that you melted. Stir this mixture for approximately two minutes, cooking it in the process. Then, combine the mixture with the brown sugar and cinnamon for an additional 2 minutes. After that, add in the cornstarch and the tablespoon of water and mix well. Stop cooking and mixing when sauce thickens and allow the sauce to cool slightly away from the heat.
  4. 4
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. 5
    Prepare the puff pastry. Fix any cracks by pressing them together. After that, trim the sheets into squares, then quarter them.
  6. 6
    Prepare the turnover. Spoon out about a teaspoon of the apple mixture onto each of the quartered puff pastry squares, and once settled fold over the corners to make them into a triangle. Press together the edges so no apple filling leaks out.
  7. 7
    Place the turnovers on a baking sheet. Be sure to leave room between each of them.
  8. 8
    Bake the turnovers until they are puffed and lightly brown.

Glazing the Turnover

  1. 1
    Wait for the turnovers to cool before glazing.
  2. 2
    Drizzle the glaze over the turnovers. You'll want to avoid pouring the glaze directly over the turnovers. Instead, use a spoon to drizzle the glaze onto the turnovers, so it creates somewhat-neat lines ontop and over the sides of the turnover.
