    Apple Turnovers with tea

    You could have these apple turnovers for breakfast or tea time, they are just so enjoyable. If you have the puff pastry ready you could quickly prep them up in no time. You could use any fruit filling or even savoury fillings of your choice with meat, chicken or vegetables.  They are so easy to make that you would wonder why you haven’t been making them before. 

    Ingredients:
    1 Pack Puff Pastry dough
    4 Large Apples (cored and peeled)
    1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
    1/2 TSP Cinnamon (ground)
    1/2 TSP Vanilla Essence
    1 TBS Unsalted Butter

    What you need:
    1 non stick baking sheet
    parchment Paper sheets or silicon baking sheet
    Wire rack

    Preparation:

    1. Thaw the puff pastry if frozen and unfold it on a lightly floured pastry board. Cut into 4 x 4 inch squares if it is a thin long sheet. Otherwise if it is a big thick square, cut it into smaller squares and roll into 4×4 inch square

    2. For the apple filling, peel, core and slice the apples. Add a blob of butter to the saucepan followed by the apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla essence. Combine well and cook till the apples caramelize and are no longer runny. Remove to cool and set aside.

    3. Place one or two teaspoons of filling in the centre of each pastry square, brush the edges with egg white and fold into a triangle. Then press the edges using your fingers.

    4. You could be a bit creative to make a design on the edges with the fork or cookie cutter. This not only makes them look pretty but helps to seal them well. You could also make square shaped hand pies by using 2 pastry squares one on top of the other with the filling inside.

    5. Prick with the fork in the centre to let the air out before putting them in the oven. This prevents the pastry from bubbling while baking. Glaze them with egg white and place them on a non stick baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. It is better to keep them chilled in the fridge for sometime before placing them in the oven.

    6. Bake in the oven preheated at 375 degrees fahrenheit for 30 – 35 minutes till golden brown.

    7. Cool them on a wire rack and enjoy with tea or vanilla ice cream.

    Flaky Apple Turnovers

    Author: Fouzia Husainy
    We enjoyed these Apple Turnovers with tea and they were just amazing! I tried the recipe from "mud on her boots" for 'recipe nod' at the Food Bloggers Canada network. I just gave a nutty crunch by adding walnuts to the apple filling. I had no time to pick up the puff pastry from the store so I made it from scratch for the first time and it turned out flaky and good as expected.
