Puff Pastry Apple Turnovers are as simple as whipping up a quick pie filling and then stuffing it into puff pastry squares. The prep time takes all of 30 minutes (plus a little chilling time), and then you’ll be enjoying warm cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger laced apple pastries straight from the oven! Here’s an overview of how to make this Apple Turnover recipe with step-by-step photos (see printable recipe card at the bottom of the post for full recipe):
Step 1: Make the Apple Turnover Filling
Add all the apple filling ingredients except the vanilla to some melted butter in a saucepan.Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook an additional 5 minutes. Lastly, stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer to a bowl, then refrigerate to chill for about 20 minutes.
Step 2: Prep the Puff Pastry
Be sure to work with one puff pastry sheet at a time (two usually come in a pack). The puff pastry needs to stay as cold as possible! Dust a parchment lined counter with flour. Roll one puff pastry out into approximately an 11-inch square. Depending on the length and shape of your puff pastry, you may need to slice some off of the width to add to the length/height.Cut the now squared puff pastry into 4 equal squares.
Step 3: Assemble the Turnovers
Add apples: Spoon some of the apple filling into each puff pastry square using a slotted spoon. You’ll want to pretend like there’s a diagonal line running across each square. Fill only half of each square, on the diagonal. Be sure to leave a border so the turnovers can easily seal.
Fold and crimp: Fold the pastry across diagonally to form triangles. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
Egg wash: Transfer the turnovers to a silicone baking mat or parchment paper-lined baking tray, leaving at least an inch between each one. Beat an egg and some heavy cream together to prepare an egg wash. Brush the top of each turnover with egg wash.
Sprinkle and slit: Sprinkle the apple turnovers with turbinado sugar and cinnamon, then cut 2 to 3 small slits in the top of each turnover so it can vent while baking.
Step 4: Bake the Turnovers
Bake until golden and puffed.
Step 5: Make the Glaze
While the apple turnovers bake, whisk together the powdered sugar glaze or make the caramel sauce. Drizzle the warm turnovers with glaze or caramel and dig in!
