2-3 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into small chunks (Granny Smith, Mac, Empire, or Rome)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (9 by 9 1/2 inches), thawed overnight in refrigerator
The method
Directions
01
Egg Wash - 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tsp. water
02
Combine apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in large bowl.
03
Melt butter in large shallow saucepan. Add apple mixture and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until liquid reduces and thickens.
04
Transfer apple mixture to bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
05
While apples cool, unfold 1 sheet puff pastry onto lightly floured work surface and roll into 12-inch square. Cut into four 6-inch squares and brush edges with egg wash.
06
Fill each turnover with 2-3 tablespoons apple mixture then fold the dough over diagonally to enclose the filling and crimp corners with forks. Place turnovers on plate and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining sheet puff pastry and filling.
07
Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. With turnovers still on large plate, brush tops with remaining egg wash and sprinkle with 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.
08
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.
