How to make Cinnamon Apple Turnovers with Glaze

I recently shared how to make jam turnovers with glaze but I tried a new version I just have to share! I use a fresh apple to make my Mom’s favorite cinnamon apples and then tuck the soft apple mixture into the turnovers. Oh so delicious! Makes 6.

Ingredients:

• 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon of butter, melted
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon half and half (you can use milk as a substitute)

Step One: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Step Two: Roll out the thawed sheet of puff pastry on a large sheet of parchment paper with a rolling pin. This will make your puff pastry nice and thin. Using a knife cut the puff pastry into 6 equal rectangles.

Step Three: In a small non-stick pan on medium heat add the diced apple, maple syrup, and cinnamon sugar. Sauté for ~5 minutes until the apples are soft.

Step Four: Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of the apple mixture in the top left corner of each rectangle. Fold the bottom right up to the top left and fork the edges closed. Note: You’ll want to make sure each turnover is well sealed otherwise it may leak as it bakes.

Step Five: Mix the egg in a small bowl and brush on the top of each turnover. This will make them a beautiful golden brown.

Step Six: Bake for 14 minutes.

Step Seven: While your turnovers are in the oven make the glaze. Melt the butter in a bowl and add the powdered sugar and the half and half (or milk), mix well until fully combined.

Step Eight: When the turnovers are out of oven spread each one with the glaze and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step Nine: Enjoy!
