Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple pie filling
  • 1 package puff pastry 17.3oz
  • Egg wash
  • Cinnamon glaze
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract clear

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Thaw puff pastry sheets and cut into 8 squares (4/sheet).
  • Place 1 heaping tablespoon apple pie filling on each square. Fold pastry over filling making triangles.
  • Make egg wash by whisking 1 egg and a little water. Brush pastry triangles with egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional).
  • Place pastries on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. While baking, prepare the glaze.

  • When apple turnovers are done, remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
  • When turnovers are cooled off slightly, drizzle with vanilla glaze and enjoy!

Notes

  • make a small slit with a sharp knife to release the steam
  • cut out small circles for mini apple turnovers
  • dust with sanding sugar or brown sugar before bakings for a crispier crust
  • you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper, nonstick aluminum foil, or silicone baking mat
  • use a pizza cutter to slice pastry dough
  • don't overstuff them or they will burst while cooking
  • cool for few minutes, the filling will be super hot
  • egg wash for brown color
  • don't add glaze if going to freeze
