Ingredients
- Puff pastry
Filling
- 4 large, about 2 pounds Granny Smith apples
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoons salt
Cinnamon Sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Roll the puff pastry into a 10 inch by 10-inch rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Cut into four 5-inch squares. Repeat with second puff pastry.
- Place 6 squares on each baking sheet. Put the baking sheets in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- For the filling, peel the apples, then grate them on a box grater. In a medium bowl, combine the grated apples with the sugar, lemon juice and salt.
- Remove one baking sheet from the refrigerator. Working with one puff pastry square at a time, place 2 Tablespoons of apple filling in the center of the square. Dip your fingers in a small bowl of water and moisten the edges of the square. Take one corner of the square and fold it over to meet the opposite corner (creating a triangle). Use a fork to crimp the edges. Use a sharp knife to cut three small slits on top for steam to escape.
- Repeat step 5 with remaining squares, then place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and repeat with the second sheet of dough squares.
- Chill both baking sheets for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Add the cinnamon sugar coating. Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Remove one baking sheet from the refrigerator. Brush pastries with water and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake at 375℉ for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Use a spatula to transfer the turnovers to a wire cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
