Apple Turnovers

Ingredients

• 2 Red apple (cored and diced)
• 0.33 Lemon (juice squeezed)
• 1 Egg (for brushing)
• 275 g Puff pastry, fresh (from the refrigerated section)
• 50 g Brown sugar
• 30 g Cane sugar, unrefined
• 1 tsp Cinnamon, ground
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 0.25 tsp Ginger, ground
• 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, ground
• Salt (a pinch)
• 30 g Butter

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 °C top and bottom heat (recommended) or 180 °C fan.

2. 2

   Halve the lemon and squeeze out all the juice.

3. 3

   Wash and core the red apples, then cut into small dice. Mix with the lemon juice to prevent them from browning.

4. 4

   Melt the butter in a pan. Add the diced apples along with the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Sauté over medium heat until the apples become slightly soft.

5. 5

   Mix the cornstarch with a little cold water until smooth and stir it into the apple mixture. Bring to a brief boil until the liquid thickens, then remove from the heat and let cool.

6. 6

   Roll out the fresh puff pastry and cut into 6 equal-sized rectangles.

7. 7

   Distribute the cooled apple filling evenly onto one half of each pastry piece, leaving a border. Fold the other half of the dough over and press the edges down firmly with a fork.

8. 8

   Whisk the egg and brush the turnovers with it. Sprinkle with the unrefined cane sugar.

9. 9

   Place the apple turnovers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for approx. 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

The quantities have been adjusted for 6 servings based on the raw data. Make sure to let the apple filling cool slightly before filling to prevent the puff pastry from becoming too soft.
