APPLE TURNOVERS

Not sure how to make apple turnovers? Give this traditional recipe a try. It makes a dessert that's both tender and flaky, with apple pie-like filling and a thin, white glaze. I freeze the extra turnovers and warm them up in the microwave. They're great with coffee. -Dorothy Bayes, Sardis, Ohio

EASY APPLE TURNOVERS



Easy Apple Turnovers image

Just got The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook and this is the first recipe I tried from it. So quick and easy! Don't be tempted to overfill the turnovers like I did--it will leak out the sides. Very yummy anyway.

Provided by SharleneW

Categories     Pie

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut in chunks
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon flour (not in original recipe from ATK(see chef note below)
1 (17 1/3 ounce) box frozen puff pastry, thawed (two sheets)
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Pulse the applies, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the lemon juice, and salt in a food processor until the apples are coarsely chopped, about 5 pulses. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then drain, reserving any accumulated juice.
  • Chef note: The 2nd time I made this, I mixed a tablespoon of flour with the sugar before I tossed the apples in it. I also mixed the applesauce right in with the apples. I think the flour helped keep it from being quite so runny--it was more like pie filling when it was cooked.
  • Unfold one sheet of puff pastry on lightly floured counter and roll into a 10-inch square. Cut into 4 5-inch squares. Mound 1 tablespoon applesauce and 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center of each square.
  • Brush the edges of each square with juice drained off the apples and fold into triangles. Crump the edges together using a fork to seal. Lay the turnovers on a wire rack and freeze for 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining sheet of pastry and remaining applesauce and apple filling.
  • Toss the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon. Remove the rack from the freezer, brush the turnovers with the reserved apple juice, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
  • Lay the turnovers on two parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until well browned, 20 to 26 minutes, rotating and switching the baking sheets halfway through baking. Transfer the turnovers to a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Making Perfect Apple Turnovers

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your turnovers a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples. Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them into a thin, uniform size.
  • Use a light hand when rolling out the dough. You don't want to overwork it, which will make it tough. If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out. Then, sprinkle some flour on your work surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Be generous with the filling. Don't be afraid to add a lot of apples to your turnovers. This is what gives them their delicious, juicy flavor. You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cinnamon, sugar, or chopped nuts.
  • Fold the turnovers carefully. Make sure to seal the edges tightly, so that the filling doesn't leak out. You can use a fork to crimp the edges, or you can use a pastry brush to brush them with some water before baking.
  • Bake the turnovers until they are golden brown. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them, so that they don't overcook.

Conclusion

Apple turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give apple turnovers a try. You won't be disappointed!
