How to make apple turnovers

• Lay the thawed puff pastry out on a cutting board.
• Using a rolling pin or cup roll out any creases.
• Cut pastry into four squares.
• Divide the apple mixture up and place a couple of tablespoons on the center of each square.
• Fold over and line up with the opposite corner, using a fork seal the edges together.
• Brush the turnovers with the egg wash and cut two holes in the top of each one. Bake!
• In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and milk and whisk until combined.
• Remove turnovers from the oven and drizzle glaze over the top.

• 2 apples peeled cored and diced (I like to use Granny Smith)
• 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 egg white plus 1 tablespoon water whisked together
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

• Melt butter in a skillet, add apples and cook for about 3 minutes. Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, lemon juice stir. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce is thickened about 5 minutes.

• Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Use a rolling pin to gently roll over the seams. Cut the sheet into four squares. Divide the mixture up evenly and spoon it into the center of the pastry square. Fold the pastry in half and pinch the edges together using a fork. Repeat with the remaining squares. Brush some egg wash on top of the pastries to help them become nicely browned. Place on baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on cooling rack

• In a small bowl whisk the powdered and milk together until combined. If you want it thicker just add a little more sugar. Drizzle glaze over turnovers.

• **If you want to freeze some of the turnovers. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in freezer. Once they are frozen you can put them in a ziplock freezer bag and they wont stick together. Bake 15-20 minutes

This recipe can easily be doubled to make 8 turnovers.

You can also use apple pie filling instead of fresh.

Feel free to use a different fruit if desired.
