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.

Time 30m

Yield 12 turnovers, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 puff pastry sheets (pre-rolled measuring 25cm x 25cm, defrost)
3 granny smith apples (or of choice)

  • Remove cloves.
  • Divide each pastry sheet into 4 squares.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of apple on the diagonal of the pastry square.
  • Pull over to form a triangle and seal using a fork, gently pushing in to the edge to seal, using edge of knife put 1 or 2 small slits into the pastry (to let steam escape).
  • Continue until all 12 turnovers are filled and sealed.
  • Brush top of turnovers with whisked egg (you will only use a small amount of the egg) and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Place on a cookie/baking tray covered with baking paper/parchment paper (I get 6 to a tray).

  • TO SERVE.
