I just love it when you can throw a dessert together that everyone devours! I was so excited over how good these tasted that I got a little camera happy and took a zillion pictures.
Most of the ingredients are staple pantry ingredients… then you’ll need some fresh apples and puff pastry sheets. I also used apple pie spice in this recipe. If you don’t have apple pie spice, I have a simple recipe for it here.
So many buttery layers of goodness on top of those perfectly seasoned apples!
Start by chopping some apples into small pieces and tossing them in a mixture of flour, sugar and apple pie spice.
Cut the puff pastry sheets evenly into 4 squares.
Spoon the apple mixture in the corner half of each puff pastry square.
Fold to make a triangle, press the edges together, then crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle more apple pie spice on top.
Bake and drizzle with a simple glaze.
These would also be delicious with vanilla ice cream, but I loved them just as they were.
Enjoy!

Do you have to put flour in with the apples? What exactly does that do?
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Flour absorbs the liquid/juices from the apples so the turnovers aren’t watery. 🙂
