Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 - honey crisp apple peeled cored and cut in small dice
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

How To Make apple turnovers

  • Step 1
    Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add apples and cook for 15 minutes or until they have begun to soften. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until fully softened. Stir water and cornstarch together and add to apples. Cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Step 2
    Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Step 3
    Puff pastry will need to be thawed for 20-30 minutes prior to use. Do not thaw too long (see instructions on box),
  • Step 4
    Unfold each sheet of puff pastry and place it on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 equal squares. Place the squares on a parchment paper covered baking sheet. Top each with a heaping tablespoon or so of apple mixture and fold over and press edges to seal, creating a triangle. Crimp edges with a fork. Beat egg until frothy. Brush on a light coat of egg wash with a pastry brush
  • Step 5
    Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until turnovers are puffed and golden brown. Let turnovers cool on a wire rack.
  • Step 6
    Whisk milk and powdered sugar until smooth and drizzle over cooled turnovers
