ngredients
- For the Apple Filling:
- 2 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- For the Turnovers:
- 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into squares (about 4-5 inches per side).
- Assemble the Turnovers:
- Place a tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill them.
- Fold the pastry over to create a triangle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are well sealed.
- Air Fry the Turnovers:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place the turnovers in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to work in batches).
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve:
- Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar (if desired). Enjoy warm!
Tips
- You can experiment with different spices like nutmeg or ginger in the apple filling.
- For a fun twist, try adding some raisins or chopped nuts to the filling.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!
