Transform store-bought puff pastry into a family favorite recipe for Easy Apple Turnovers.

We are fresh off the celebration of the 10-year anniversary of Just a Taste. In many ways it feels like a lifetime ago when I decided to start sharing my mom’s beloved recipes, but in many other ways, it all still feels so new.

I think the later is attributed to just how quickly technology changes and advances these days. When I published my first blog post in 2008, Instagram didn’t exist. In fact, it still wouldn’t exist until an entire two years later. Mind. Blown.

And on the I’m-feeling-old front, I’m headed east this weekend for my 10-year Northwestern reunion. The city of Chicago will forever hold a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to explore the culinary scene a decade after my college glory days.

With so many anniversaries and reunions to celebrate (including a 4-year wedding anniversary today!), I can think of no better sweet treat than something that screams “celebrate the season!” And right now, I am all about the apples, from caramel apples and apple tarts to apple fritter rings and now, Easy Apple Turnovers.

I’ve been a longtime fan of transforming the ever-so-reliable store-bought puff pastry into various creations, both sweet and savory. But there’s just something about a classic fruit dressed simply with sugar and spices tucked inside a pastry pocket.

The crystal sanding sugar adds an optional but super satisfying crunch to every bite. And of course, Secret Ingredient Whipped Cream is a must for dipping and dunking!

SERVINGS8 turnovers

Ingredients

  • 2 cups small diced (peeled) apples
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 (17.3-oz.) package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
  • Flour, for dusting work surface
  • 1 large egg, whisked
  • Crystal sanding sugar (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice.
  • Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll over the pastry to seal any perforations then cut each sheet into 4 squares.
  • Using a slotted spoon, scoop a portion of the apple mixture into the center of each puff pastry square then fold the pastry across diagonally to form triangles. Using a fork, crimp together the edges then transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
  • Cut three small slits in the tops of each turnover then brush them with the egg. Sprinkle the turnovers with the sanding sugar (optional).
  • Bake the turnovers for 17 to 20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and puffed. Transfers the turnovers to a rack to cool then serve warm or at room temperature.
