Recipe Description

Apple Turnovers from The Cook Book are golden, flaky pastries packed with tender, cinnamon-spiced apple filling. Made easy with store-bought puff pastry, they’re the perfect grab-and-go breakfast, cozy afternoon snack, or elegant dessert. Crispy on the outside, warm and fruity inside — every bite is comforting and irresistible.

Cooking Time

  • Preparation Time: 15 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 20–25 minutes
  • Total Time: 35–40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (brown or white)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour (optional, to thicken filling)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Optional: icing sugar or simple glaze for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a small pan, melt butter and cook apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour until slightly softened (about 5–6 minutes). Let cool.
  3. Roll out puff pastry and cut into 4 equal squares.
  4. Spoon apple filling into the center of each square. Fold diagonally to form a triangle and press edges with a fork to seal.
  5. Place on baking tray, brush tops with egg wash, and make a small slit on top for steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and puffed.
  7. Cool slightly before serving. Optionally dust with icing sugar or drizzle with glaze.

FAQs

Can I use canned apple pie filling?

Yes — it’s a great shortcut. Just use about 2 tablespoons per turnover.

How do I store leftovers?

Store cooled turnovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for crispiness.

Can I freeze them?

Yes — freeze unbaked turnovers and bake directly from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes to the cooking time.

Can I make them vegan?

Use dairy-free butter, skip the egg wash (or use plant milk), and ensure your pastry is vegan-friendly.
