Apple turnovers using bought puff pastry.
Quite quick (takes me 1/2 an hour) and really delicious. Granddaughter loves them.
2 peeled and chopped
apples
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Pack of thawed frozen puff pastry, roiled put, cut into squares
Flour, for dusting work surface
1 large egg, whisked
Demerara sugar
Preheat the oven to 180°. Line two baking sheets with greaseproof paper
In a large bowl, stir together the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice.
Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured work surface.
Using a rolling pin, gently roll over the pastry to seal any perforations then cut each sheet into 4 squares
Using a slotted spoon, scoop a portion of the apple mixture into the center of each puff pastry square then fold the pastry across diagonally to form triangles.
Using a fork, crimp together the edges then transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Cut three small slits in the tops of each turnover then brush them with the egg. Sprinkle the turnovers with the demerara sugar.
Bake the turnovers for 10-12 minutes or until they’re golden brown and puffed. Transfer the turnovers to a rack to cool then serve warm or at room temperature.
