Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced (for apple filling)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for apple filling)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for apple filling)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for apple filling)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (for apple filling)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for apple filling)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for apple filling)
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (for turnovers)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling on turnovers)
- Vanilla ice cream (for topping)
- Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are tender. Stir in cornstarch and cook for 1 more minute until thickened. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Cut puff pastry into 4 equal squares. Spoon apple filling into the center of each square.
- Fold corners up over the filling to create a loose pocket, pinching gently to secure.
- Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then top each turnover with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Notes
- For a richer filling, try adding a handful of raisins or chopped walnuts to the apple mixture.
- For a golden, shiny finish, brush the egg wash on the turnovers before baking.
- These turnovers can be made ahead and frozen before baking. Simply bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- For a fun twist, drizzle with both caramel and chocolate sauce.
