Apple Turnovers
- In a pan on medium heat combine diced apples, sugar, water, cinnamon, cornstarch, vanilla and nutmeg powder.
- Cook for around 8 minutes till apples are soft but hold their shape.
- Let the mixture cool for around 20-30 minutes before you fill it in.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface.
- Cut it into 4 squares. Take 1 square and place around 1.5 tablespoons of apple mixture in the center.
- 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.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 turnovers and transfer all to a baking sheet lined with silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Lightly brush each turnover with the beaten egg.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400 F degrees for around 18-20 minutes or till the turnovers are nice golden brown in color.
- Take out of the oven and transfer on to a wire rack to cool completely.
Lemon Drizzle
- Beat softened cream cheese till creamy and smooth.
- Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and milk and mix till well combined and smooth.
