Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.

In a medium size bowl, combine the chopped apple, cinnamon and brown sugar. Set aside.

Unroll your pie crust on a parchment-lined or floured surface.

Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter (or any fun shape you like!), cut out as many circles as possible.

Place 2 teaspoons of the apple mixture in the center of half of the dough cut outs. These will be your bases.

Lightly dab a little water around the edges of each base cutout. Place a second dough cutout on top and gently press around the edges to seal.

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet.

Poke 3–4 small vents in the top of each turnover with a toothpick. If you'd like them extra golden, whisk 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water and brush it lightly over the tops (optional).

Bake for 15-18 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes and then serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-Chill Your Dough ❄️
Refrigerate pie dough for at least 30 minutes before filling and sealing to prevent shrinkage and ensure crispy, flaky turnovers that hold their shape perfectly.
Macerate Your Apples 🍎
Toss diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon 15 minutes before filling to draw out excess moisture, preventing soggy turnovers while concentrating the flavor.
Seal Edges Properly 🔐
Use a fork to press and crimp the edges firmly, then brush with egg wash for a gorgeous golden finish and to ensure the filling doesn't leak during baking.
Ventilation Prevents Explosions 💨
Cut small slits or use a fork to pierce the top of each turnover before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent bursting in the oven.
Cool Before Eating 🧊
Let turnovers rest for 5 minutes after baking before serving, as the filling will be extremely hot; this also allows the filling to set slightly for easier handling.
