Apple Turnover Recipe
Ingredients:
1 lb puff pastry (1 package), defrosted
3 large granny smith apples, peeled and diced into ½” cubes
⅔ cup brown sugar
¼ cup North Coast Organic Apple Juice
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
Pinch cloves
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp coarse sugar (optional)
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp North Coast Organic Apple Juice
Directions:
Add apples, brown sugar, apple juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon zest, vanilla and salt to a pot over medium heat. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, until apples are softened (about 8 minutes).
Stir in the cornstarch and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 400˚ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out each puff pastry sheet to a 12-inch square. Cut each sheet into 4 equal-sized squares for 8 total squares.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling into the center of each square, leaving a ½ inch border.
Brush the edges of the square with egg, then fold over one corner of the dough to make a triangle. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges. Cut 3 small slits in the top of each turnover for venting. Optional: sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown. Meanwhile, prepare your glaze. Mix the powdered sugar and apple juice together until smooth. Let the turnovers cool slightly before glazing.
