Servings: 9

Ingredients

  • 1 package puff pastry 2 sheets
  • 1 ¼ lbs Sour Apples 2-3 apples
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • tsp salt
  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar topping

For the Glaze (optional):

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp milk

Instructions

  • Remove puff pastry from the freezer and thaw according to package instructions.
  • In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, place water, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until there are no more clumps of corn starch. Then, bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Once the mixture has boiled for 2 minutes, add the peeled and diced apples, cover, and let simmer until the apples are soft or about 4-5 minutes.Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 400˚F.
  • Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut each pastry sheet into 9 sections. You should have 18 total. 
    The easiest way to do this is cut 2 horizontal lines where the puff pasty sheets have a crease and then 2 vertical lines, slightly over 3″ apart.
  • Add about 1-2 tablespoon of the apple filling and about 1 teaspoon of chopped walnuts on 9 of the puff pastry sections, leaving about ⅛ inch space around the edges.
  • Brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash and add a puff pastry sheet on top of each of the 9 filled with apple pie filling and walnuts. Crimp tightly around the edges to seal the turnovers.
  • Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, keeping them at least 1″ apart. Brush each of the turnovers with egg wash and sprinkle granulated sugar on top. Bake 20-23 minutes or until golden and puffy.
  • Transfer apple walnut turnovers onto a cooling rack and allow to cool.

The Glaze:

  • Wish together powdered sugar and milk. Add teaspoon of milk at a time to reach desired consistency.
  • Drizzle over turnovers and enjoy.
