Description
Delicious apple turnovers with a flaky puff pastry filled with spiced apple filling.
Ingredients
- 340 grams high-gluten flour
- 230 grams cold unsalted butter, diced
- 170 grams cold water
- 12 grams salt
- 50 grams melted unsalted butter
- 400 grams Gala or Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
- 80 grams granulated sugar
- 80 grams honey
- 40 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt, cold water, and melted butter in a mixer until just combined.
- Incorporate the cold, diced butter, ensuring that it remains visible in the dough to create flakiness.
- Shape the dough into a rectangle, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Roll out the chilled dough into a long rectangle.
- Perform a “book fold” by folding each end toward the center and then folding the dough in half.
- Rotate the dough, roll it out again, and repeat the folding process.
- Rest the dough in the fridge for another hour before using.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the diced apples, sugar, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cook until the apples soften but still hold their shape, about 10-15 minutes.
- Let the filling cool before using it in the turnovers.
- Roll out the puff pastry into a large square and cut it into smaller squares (about 4×4 inches).
- Spoon a generous amount of apple filling into the center of each square.
- Brush the edges of each square with a beaten egg, fold the pastry over to create a triangle, and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
- Make a small slit on top of each turnover for steam to escape.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Notes
For more sweetness and crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
