Ingredients

Scale

Apple Turnover

  • 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored & diced
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 egg, beaten

Lemon Cream Cheese Drizzle

  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoon confectioners sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Apple Turnovers

  1. In a pan on medium heat combine diced apples, sugar, water, cinnamon, cornstarch, vanilla and nutmeg powder.
  2. Cook for around 8 minutes till apples are soft but hold their shape.
  3. Let the mixture cool for around 20-30 minutes before you fill it in.
  4. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface.
  5. Cut it into 4 squares. Take 1 square and place around 1.5 tablespoons of apple mixture in the center.
  6. Fold to form a triangle and use a fork to seal the edges. You can see in the picture how I pressed the edges using a fork.
  7. Repeat with the remaining 3 turnovers and transfer all to a baking sheet lined with silicone mat or parchment paper.
  8. Lightly brush each turnover with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 F degrees for around 18-20 minutes or till the turnovers are nice golden brown in color.
  10. Take out of the oven and transfer on to a wire rack to cool completely.

Lemon Drizzle

  1. Beat softened cream cheese till creamy and smooth.
  2. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and milk and mix till well combined and smooth.
  3. Drizzle glaze over the cooled turnovers.
