Servings: 12 apple turnovers
Calories: 328kcal
Ingredients
- 1 package vegan puff pastry*
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 Granny Smith apples thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Sugar Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F and line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Remove your puff pastry from the freezer and allow it to thaw until pliable.
- Fill a large bowl with 4 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and place the apples in the lemon water as you slice them so that they don't brown.
- Once all your apples have been sliced, heat two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain the water from the apples and add the sliced apples to the skillet. Sauté the apples for about 2 minutes until starting to soften. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and continue to cook down the apples until soft.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tablespoon of cornstarch and the tablespoon of water until smooth. Pour the mixture over the apples and stir until thickened. Remove the apples from the heat and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- Unfold the puff pastry and, if not already cut into squares, trim the pastry into squares. You may need to press together any puff pastry that has cracks. Spoon some of the cinnamon apples onto the center of each square, fold the square in half to form a triangle, and press the edges together with a fork (see photos).
- Place the turnovers onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each turnover, and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until starting to turn golden brown. Allow the turnovers to cool completely before drizzling with the glaze.
- To make the sugar glaze, simply whisk 1 tablespoon of non-dairy milk into the powdered sugar. Add more milk as needed 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches the consistency you desire. Drizzle the glaze over the turnovers.
Notes
*I found puff pastry that was already cut into squares, but your puff pastry may come in a larger rectangle.
These turnovers taste best straight out of the oven. However, leftovers can be stored for about 1-2 days in an airtight container.
