EASY PEASY APPLE TURNOVERS



Easy Peasy Apple Turnovers image

This recipe was inspired by mliss29's recipe #292754 (which was greatly enjoyed by the DS's recreation group) but put a sweet flavour to it instead of savoury. Please note if you do like it sweet then certainly add the sugar for without it is just the flavour of your fruit and the spices.

VERY EASY APPLE TURNOVERS



Very Easy Apple Turnovers image

I am always trying to find new ways to use my canned apples and this recipe is a snap. If you don't can your own apple pie filling then you could use store bought but I would add a few more spices to the store bought to kick it up a bit.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

apple pie filling - you will need 1/2 cup for each pastry
1 pkg pepperidge farm puff pastries
1/2 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp sugar and cinnamon (each)

Steps:

  • 1. Thaw out your two sheets of pastry dough. Roll out on a floured service to make a 12" square and cut each sheet into 4 squares.
  • 2. Fill each square with 1/2 cup of applie pie filling (I used homemade), fold the pastry into a triangle and seal edges. I used a fork to crimp the edges. Put the sugar and cinnamon in the melted butter, stir and with a pastry brush, brush the top of each turnover.

Just got The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook and this is the first recipe I tried from it. So quick and easy! Don't be tempted to overfill the turnovers like I did--it will leak out the sides. Very yummy anyway.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut in chunks
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon flour (not in original recipe from ATK(see chef note below)
1 (17 1/3 ounce) box frozen puff pastry, thawed (two sheets)
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Pulse the applies, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the lemon juice, and salt in a food processor until the apples are coarsely chopped, about 5 pulses. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then drain, reserving any accumulated juice.
  • Chef note: The 2nd time I made this, I mixed a tablespoon of flour with the sugar before I tossed the apples in it. I also mixed the applesauce right in with the apples. I think the flour helped keep it from being quite so runny--it was more like pie filling when it was cooked.
  • Unfold one sheet of puff pastry on lightly floured counter and roll into a 10-inch square. Cut into 4 5-inch squares. Mound 1 tablespoon applesauce and 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center of each square.
  • Brush the edges of each square with juice drained off the apples and fold into triangles. Crump the edges together using a fork to seal. Lay the turnovers on a wire rack and freeze for 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining sheet of pastry and remaining applesauce and apple filling.
  • Toss the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon. Remove the rack from the freezer, brush the turnovers with the reserved apple juice, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
  • Lay the turnovers on two parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until well browned, 20 to 26 minutes, rotating and switching the baking sheets halfway through baking. Transfer the turnovers to a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving.

EASY APPLE TURNOVERS



Easy Apple Turnovers image

From Cooks Illustrated: Crisp-crusted, juicy turnovers capture all the flavor of apple pie in convenient, fun-to-eat, individual pastries. The sweet crust is the perfect foil for the juicy apples. Most turnovers, however, take a long time to make, requiring a difficult-to-make pastry and a cooked filling. Perhaps we were asking too much, but we wanted a turnover that would take minutes to prepare (we were willing to use store-bought dough). Here's what we discovered: Test Kitchen Discoveries Frozen puff pastry makes a quick and easy-to-prepare turnover dough. Allow the dough to thaw overnight in the refrigerator to avoid cracking. Blend applesauce and fresh Granny Smith apples for a quick, complex-tasting filling. Process the fresh apples with sugar and drain them to remove excess liquid that would make the turnovers soggy. Use the sticky, sugary juice shed by the apples to "glue" the seams of the turnovers together. Use the same juice to brush the tops of the turnovers for a shiny, crackly top. Cook the turnovers in a hot (400-degree) oven for the best results. Puff pastry relies on high temperatures to lift the numerous, individual layers apart for its crisp texture. If you don't have a food processor, grate the peeled and cored apples on the coarse side of a box grater before mixing them with the lemon juice, sugar, and salt. This recipe is easily cut in half.

Time 40m

Yield 8 turnovers, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped coarse
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup applesauce
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (9 by 9 1/2 inches)
flour, for dusting work surface

Steps:

  • Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in small bowl.
  • Pulse apples, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and salt in food processor until chopped into pieces no larger than 1/2 inch. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then drain in fine-mesh strainer set over bowl. Reserve juices. Transfer apple mixture to medium bowl and stir in applesauce.
  • Unfold 1 sheet puff pastry onto lightly floured work surface and roll into 10-inch square. Cut into four 5-inch squares and fill each turnover with 2 tablespoons apple mixture, brush edges with reserved apple juice, then fold and crimp. Place turnovers on plate and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining sheet puff pastry and filling.
  • Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. With turnovers still on large plate, brush tops with reserved apple juice and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Place 4 turnovers on each baking sheet and bake until well browned, 20 to 26 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking time. Transfer turnovers to wire rack and let cool slightly. Turnovers can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Make Ahead: You can fill, fold, and freeze the unbaked turnovers up to 1 month in advance. Freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zipper-lock freezer bag. Before baking, allow the turnovers to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, then proceed with the recipe as directed.
