Ingredients:

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed (approximately 500g or 17.6oz total)
  • 4 medium apples (about 600g or 1.3lbs, e.g., Granny Smith or Bramley) - peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (5g)
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (1g)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (15ml)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (14g), for sautéing
  • 1 egg (large), to egg wash (optional)
  • 1 tbsp milk (15ml), to mix with egg wash (optional)
  • Additional sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat, then sauté apple mixture for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened. Let cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness (optional).
  3. Cut each pastry sheet into squares (about 6 inches). Place a spoonful of cooled apple filling in the center of each square. Fold pastry over filling to create a triangle, sealing edges with a fork.
  4. If desired, whisk egg and milk together. Brush mixture over each turnover. Place on a lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven, cool on a wire rack for a few minutes, then serve warm.
