Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, white sugar, flour, apple pie spice, salt, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.

Stir to coat the apple completely in the mixture and let sit for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven according to puff pastry directions.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Unroll and cut the puff pastry with a pizza cutter into 4” squares.

Place a tablespoon of the apple pie mixture in the centre of each square of puff pastry.

Fold the turnovers by bringing one corner of the puff pastry diagonally across and pressing to the diagonally opposite corner.

Press the edges of the folded puff pastry together to form a seal, and then use a fork to make a crimped edge. Make two small cuts in the top of the puff pastry using kitchen shears.

Set each turnover on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 12 minutes, until golden brown.

If you want to top these apple turnovers with some icing drizzle, combine the drizzle ingredients in a small bowl and adjust to your personal preferences.

Drizzle over the apple turnovers and allow to set before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pastry Chill Technique 🧊
Keep your puff pastry sheets cold until just before use to ensure maximum flakiness and prevent sticking during assembly.
Apple Moisture Management 🍎
Drain excess liquid from diced apples and pat dry with paper towels to prevent soggy turnovers and maintain a crisp pastry texture.
Egg Wash Magic ✨
Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash and press firmly to create a perfect seal that prevents filling leakage during baking.
Spice Bloom Trick 🌶️
Gently warm your apple pie spice in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the filling to intensify and release its aromatic compounds.
Cooling Rack Strategy 🍽️
Transfer turnovers to a wire cooling rack immediately after baking to prevent bottom soginess and maintain a crisp, golden crust.
