Equipment
- baking tray lined with either baking paper or silicone mat
Ingredients
Apple Pie Filling
- 2 tins diced apples
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp corn flour
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- fresh grated nutmeg or 1/4 tsp ground
- 1 tsp raw sugar for adding to the top of the uncooked turnover
Turnovers
- puff pastry sheets use as many as you wish to make. Theses would be perfect for the freezer as well.
Instructions
- Remove puff pastry sheets from the freezer to thaw. Keep cold
- In the meantime, combine the apple pie filling ingredients in a bowl.
- Using a bowl, cut out large circle pastry discs (refer to video for how to instructions and size).
- Place 2 tablespoons of filling on the centre of the pastry disc. Avoid the apple sauce as it will make the base too soggy.
- Fold the pastry over to cover the filling.
- Pressing down firmly with a fork, crimp the edge of the pastry. This helps to seal in the apple pie filling. Then prick the surface 3 times with a small knife.
- Place the turnovers on a lined baking tray and brush the tops with water (you could also use milk or an egg wash for this step). Sprinkle over some raw sugar to create a crunchy top.
- Bake at 180℃ fan-bake or 200℃ bake until golden brown. Roughly 15-20 minutes
Notes
TIP: Use puff pastry when it is barely thawed. Overly soft puff pastry gets floppy and sticky and is hard to handle. If your puff pastry softens too much, just stick it back in the fridge for a bit before making the turnovers.
