Apple Turnovers are easy to make with puff pastry and a flavorful apple filling. Bake them immediately or freeze them to bake whenever you get the craving for a warm, flaky apple breakfast or dessert!
As soon as it’s fall, I typically go all in with loads of pumpkin desserts, but this year, I’ve decided to momentarily put pumpkin on pause and share some delicious apple recipes first.
My little one has been learning all about Johnny Appleseed at school, so we’ve been taste testing different apple varieties and researching ways to keep sliced apples from browning in her lunch box.
So far, we’re loving the brining method from the Kitchn where you simply dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of Kosher salt into 1 cup of cold water and let the sliced apples soak in the salty water for 10 minutes. Then I give them a rinse, bag them up and toss them into her lunch box.
You’re probably wondering if they’re salty, right? Nope, a quick rinse removes any hint of salt and this little trick definitely prevents browning.
Since we’ve had a lot of apples on hand this week, I decided to whip up this recipe for easy Apple Turnovers. They’re simple, delicious and the perfect breakfast for fall.
Place frozen turnovers on ungreased baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Bake at 325 degrees F in convection oven for 15-18 minutes.
WHAT ARE APPLE TURNOVERS?
There’s just something about turnovers that scream fall to me. I mean, who doesn’t love a warm apple pastry? Give me Apple Turnovers and Easy Apple Dumplings all day.
Turnovers are just a flaky pastry, usually puff pastry, that is filled with a sweet or savory filling and then folded over and baked. They’re a little bit like a hand pie, with the filling sealed inside the pastry.
Sweet turnovers are often topped with a simple icing, but they can be topped with turbinado sugar, too.
These Apple Turnovers are filled with a simple, sweet apple filling for some perfect fall vibes.
I used just 4 ingredients to make a super simple apple filling for these turnovers:
- 2 cups small-diced Granny smith apples
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
I melted the butter in a skillet over medium, then added the apples and let them cook for a few minutes. Then I added the brown sugar and apple pie spice and continued cooking the filling until the apples are soft and the syrup is thick and sticky.
Don’t worry about the filing adding a lot of prep time to this recipe, though. Making the filling only takes about 5-8 minutes total!
