Hey guys,
Since Chanie’s computer is out of commission, I’m filling in for a day with one of my favorite quick and easy recipes. I love to bake but I don’t always have the time. This recipe uses frozen puff pastry (I love Pepperidge Farm’s), which allows me to cut down on prep, but not taste! I really enjoy these, and I hope you do too!
PS Dont tell Chanie I told you, but she likes to use these ready-to-make frozen apple turnovers. If she ever serves them to you for dessert, just make believe it’s my recipe ;)
Apple Turnovers
from the Balabuste’s Choice
1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg yolk
Filling
4 cortland apples (grated)
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Glaze
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp oil
2 tbsp boiling water
touch of vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat ovent to 350 degrees. Roll out dough and cut into 3×3 inch squares. Combine filling in a saucepan and stir over flame for 20-25 minutes. Cool filling. Place a tbsp of filling into each square. Fold the sides to make a triangle. Brush with egg. Poke edges closed with a fork to prevent sides from opening. Place on lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20 min or until golden brown.
Glaze when cooled.
Dina – I love love apple turnovers – and make a version of these quite often for Friday Night Dinner – Except mine a sweet and savory – Using the same recipe you just posted – I add some shredded chicken and fried onions to the apple mix – Skip the drizzle -and serve – Delish! thanks for posting – keep it coming :) Sarah
These came out delicious! Do you know if these can be frozen?
Thats great Chanie! You can definitely freeze these, but it must be done before you bake them (minus the egg). When you are ready to make them, just eggwash and bake in a preheated oven until golden.
Do you bake them straight from the freezer or defrost them first?
Straight from the freezer, do not defrost.
Thanks.
