These incredibly delicious Apple Turnovers are so easy and come together in just 40 minutes!
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 this spice on-hand (or can’t find it), I have an incredibly easy recipe for homemade apple pie spice using spices that you probably already have on-hand!
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!

These are so delicious! I made a batch tonight and I just can’t get enough! Puff pastry is a perfect match for apple turnovers. 🙂 Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
Thanks so much, Ashley! 🙂
Do you have to put flour in with the apples? What exactly does that do?
Flour absorbs the liquid/juices from the apples so the turnovers aren’t watery. 🙂
