    Apple Turnovers

    These incredibly delicious Apple Turnovers are so easy and come together in just 40 minutes!

    Apple turnovers prepared with puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    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.

    A puff pastry square filled with apple mixture, folded and edges crimped with a fork for sealing.

    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.

    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?

        Flour absorbs the liquid/juices from the apples so the turnovers aren’t watery. 🙂
