Easy Apple Turnovers
  • Prep time: 10 Minutes
  • Cook time: 15 Minutes
  • Total time: 25 Minutes
  • Makes: 12

Ingredients

  • 400 g (14.1 oz) can of apple filling
  • 2 tsp cinnamon, ground
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 4 sheets puff pastry, defrosted

Instructions

  1. First, preheat an oven to 210°C (410°F).
  2. Cut a sheet of puff pastry into 4 squares.
  3. On each square place about 1-2 Tbsp of apple.
  4. Sprinkle the apple with cinnamon.
  5. Using a pastry brush, wet the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg.
  6. Fold the pastry, so it now forms a triangle.
  7. Now crimp the open edges with a fork.
  8. Prick the top of the turnover so steam can escape. This will stop the turnovers from exploding.
  9. Place onto an oven tray and repeat steps 2-9 until you run out of the apple or puff pastry.
  10. Glaze the apple turnovers with the remaining egg mix.
  11. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  12. Serve & Enjoy.

Recipe Tips

  • Supposing that you want to use some fresh apples rather than canned, simply cook some diced apples in a pot until nice and tender. This extra will add about ten to twenty minutes more onto the recipe. Still, it will be worth it if you have delicious fresh apples.
  • If you find that the apple is leaking out of the sides, then make sure you crimp the edges more. As well as this, make sure you poke a hole for the steam to escape; otherwise, you will end up with exploding apple turnovers.
  • One thing you’re able to do if you’re a sweet tooth is to sprinkle some sugar over the top of the apple. You can also sprinkle some sugar on top of the pastry before it goes into the oven.
