Bakery Style Apple Turnovers
Flaky puff pastry triangles filled with an apple cinnamon filling - just like in the bakeries.
Equipment
- 1 peeker or small sharp knife
- 1 Sharp Knife
- 1-2 Flat baking trays
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Spoon
- 1 Pastry brush optional
- 1 Fork
Ingredients
- 2 large cooking apples
- 75 grams caster sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 sheet defrosted puff pastry
- 1 whole egg
- 40 grams granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°c (360°f) or 170°c (340°f) if fan assisted.
- Peel and core the apples and cut into medium sized chunks.
- Spread out onto a flat lined baking tray. Cook for 5-10 minutes until they start to soften. Allow to cool fully before continuing.
- Once the cooked apples have cooled, add to a bowl along with caster sugar and cinnamon. Mix together.
- Remove the puff pastry from the packaging and carefully unroll.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry longways, so you have 2 strips of puff pastry. Slice both halves in half, cutting the other way. And then slice those pieces in half again so you have 8 pieces total. Refer to the picture in the above post.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl and whisk briefly with a fork to break it up.
- Place a large tablespoon of cooked apples into the center of each piece of puff pastry.
- Gently brush the egg onto the outside edges of each piece of puff pastry.
- Carefully take one side of each pastry piece and gently fold it over diagonally, to create a triangle. Push the edge pieces of the pastry together.
- Using a fork, press firmly into the edges of each pastry triangle along the seam to seal fully.
- Carefully place each triangle on a flat, lined baking tray with a little space in between.
- Turn the oven up to 200°c (400°f) or 190°c (380°f) if fan assisted.
- Lightly brush each triangle with egg and sprinkle some granulated sugar on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry has puffed up and turned an even golden brown colour on each triangle.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Leftovers can be wrapped tightly or stored in an airtight container once they have cooled at room temperature for 2 days.
