Quick Apple Turnovers Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven at 425 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Wash, peel and core the Granny Smith apples. Thinly julienne cut the apples into 1/4 inch long matchsticks (for a more rustic look, rough chop the apples to your likeness). In a medium size mixing bowl add the apples and the remaining filling ingredients. Mix until all of the apples are well coated. Open and unroll the Cresent Rolls one tube at a time. Roll the entire tube out (do not tear at perforated edges). With a sharp knife cute the cresent rolls into 4 rectangles (each rectangle is made up of 2 cresent rolls connected at the long edge). Pinch the perforated edges together to ensure the rectangle is sealed in the middle and flatten the pastry to make it more uniform in shape and size. Brush each rectangle with butter. Take 1/4 cup of the filling and lay it in the middle of one rectangle. Take another rectangle (buttered side down) and lay on top, pinching the edges to create a sealed pastry pocket. With your knife make 3 slits on the top. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Bake at 425 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and flaky on top. Bottom should be cooked through. Should make 4 turnovers. *TIP: If you experience seepage or spill over of the filling juice; half way through the baking time remove the turnovers from the oven and transfer to a new cookie sheet for the remaining baking time. This will help to keep the bottom crisp and cooked through.
• 2. Quick Glaze: Take the pre-made frosting of your choice and microwave for 15 seconds. Stir until smooth and can easily be drizzled. If needed microwave for an additional 5 seconds until consistency desired is reached. Home Made Glaze: Mix milk* 1 tsp. at a time and confectioner's sugar until the glaze can be easily drizzled but is not too runny. *You made need more or less of the milk depending on you preference of the glaze thickness.
• 3. Cut each turnover diagonally and drizzle with glaze before serving. Serve warm and enjoy.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in 1/4 cup butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12x6-in. rectangle., Cut remaining butter into thin slices. Starting at a short side of dough, arrange half of the butter slices over two-thirds of rectangle to within 1/2 in. of edges. Fold unbuttered third of dough over middle third. Fold remaining third over the middle, forming a 6x4-in. rectangle. Roll dough into a 12x6-in. rectangle., Repeat steps of butter layering and dough folding, ending with a 6x4-in. rectangle. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate for 15 minutes. Roll dough into a 12x6-in. rectangle. Fold in half lengthwise and then widthwise. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate for 1 hour., Preheat oven to 450°. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Add apples and lemon juice; toss to coat. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until apples are tender, stirring often, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat., In a small bowl, combine egg and water. Roll dough into a 12-in. square; cut into four squares. Brush with half of the egg mixture. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling on half of each square; fold dough over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg mixture. With a sharp knife, cut three small slits in the top of each turnover., Bake until golden brown, 17-22 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over turnovers. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon and 4 cups water in a large bowl. Place the sliced apples in the water to keep them from browning.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain water from apples, and place them into the hot skillet. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Add brown sugar, and cinnamon, and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Pour into the skillet, and mix well. Cook for another minute, or until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Unfold puff pastry sheets, and repair any cracks by pressing them back together. Trim each sheet into a square. Then cut each larger square into 4 smaller squares. Spoon apples onto the center of each squares. Fold over from corner to corner into a triangle shape, and press edges together to seal. Place turnovers on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until turnovers are puffed and lightly browned. Cool completely before glazing.
• To make the glaze, mix together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl. Adjust the thickness by adding more sugar or milk if necessary. Drizzle glaze over the cooled turnovers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the orange zest and orange juice in a bowl. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and then cut them in 3/4-inch dice. Immediately toss the apples with the zest and juice to prevent them from turning brown. Add the cherries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• Flour a board and lightly roll each sheet of puff pastry to a 12 by 12-inch square. Cut each sheet into 4 smaller squares and keep chilled until ready to use.
• Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and neatly place about 1/3 cup of the apple mixture on half of the square. Fold the pastry diagonally over the apple mixture and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, make 2 small slits, and bake for 20 minutes, until browned and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine apples, brown sugar, water, butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl; mix to combine.
• Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Scoop 1 tablespoon apple mixture into the center of each triangle and fold into a package, making sure the ends are sealed. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce on each turnover.

Steps:

• Cook chopped apples, cinnamon, brown sugar and orange juice together in a saucepan for approximately 5 minutes or until apple is softened slightly.
• Fold through raspberries and allow to cool.
• Cut each strip of puff pastry in half and lay one of the halves in sandwich maker.
• Top the halves of pastry with apple filling, and place other pastry half on top of each and close sandwich maker.
• Cook until golden on the outside, about 3 minutes.
• Turn out filled pastry and trim edges to neaten.
• Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream or ice-cream.

Steps:

• Put the Bramley apple, sugar and cinnamon in a small pan with 1 tbsp water. Cover with a lid and simmer over a low heat for 10-15 mins until the apple breaks down and turns into a compote.
• Stir in the butter and the Gala apple and cook for a further 5 mins, uncovered, until the Gala apple is just soft but retaining its shape, and any excess water has evaporated to make a thick compote around the Gala chunks. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unravel the puff pastry sheet out on a work surface, and cut into 4 even rectangles. Divide the apple filling to one side of each of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1cm border. Brush the border with milk and fold over the empty side of pastry over the filling and crimp together. Brush with more milk and sprinkle over the sugar. Make a small steam hole in the middle of the turnovers.
• Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool for 10 mins on a wire rack (the filling will be molten when it first comes out the oven) before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or serve at room temperature. Keep for 2 days in an airtight container.
