Apple Turnovers

Ina is smart and fabulous (or her assistants are smart and fabulous) and someone came up the idea to use orange juice and orange zest in the turnover filling instead of lemon. It’s scrumptious! And I’m completely fascinated by puff pastry. Read more I kept turning on the oven light and crouching down to peak at it bubbling and growing in the oven. I tend to regress quite dramatically during the holidays due to all of the stress and sugar so this probably means that your 5 year old will love watching the baking process too. See less
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest shopping list
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice shopping list
- 1 1/4 pounds tart apples, such as Empire or Granny Smith (3 apples) shopping list
- 3 tablespoons dried cherries (Note: I used dried cranberries) shopping list
- 3 tablespoons sugar, plus extra to sprinkle on top shopping list
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon shopping list
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg shopping list
- Pinch kosher salt shopping list
- 1 package (17.3 ounces, 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted shopping list
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash shopping list
How to make it
- 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 (or cranberries), 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.
