Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 Granny Smith Apples peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 Golden Delicious Apples peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch
  • 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon fresh Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed Lemon Juice

Pastry and Serving

  • One 14-ounce package All-Butter Frozen Puff Pastry thawed
  • 1 Egg beaten to blend, for glaze
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Superfine Sugar optional, for dusting
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

Filling

  • Place prepared apple cubes in medium bowl.

  • Toss ingredients until apples are coated.
  • Set aside and let mixture sit while preparing pastry.

Pastry

  • Roll out pastry on lightly floured surface to 15-inch square.
  • Cut puff pastry into 12 squares.
  • Whisk together egg and water. Brush edges of puff pastry with egg mixture.

Fill and Form

  • Place 1 generous tablespoon filling in center of each of 12 squares (reserve remaining square for another use).
  • Fold half of pastry square over filling, forming triangle. Press and pinch pastry edges with fingertips to seal tightly.
  • Using a thin, sharp knife, make 3 small slits on top of each triangle to allow steam to escape.
  • Lightly brush pastry with beaten egg.
  • Sprinkle lightly with superfine sugar, if desired.
  • Repeat with remaining squares.
  • Place triangles on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes

Bake

  • After dough is well-chilled, preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bake turnovers until beginning to color, about 15 minutes.
  • Reverse baking sheets from top to bottom.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Continue baking until turnovers are firm and golden, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
  • Filling will be extremely hot - Cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
