Course: Dessert
Servings: 8 turnovers

Ingredients

Turnover

  • 2 sheets puff pastry dough
  • 3/4 can apple pie filling
  • 1/4-1/3 cup caramel sauce

Apple Cider Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp apple cider
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp corn syrup {optional}

Garnish- Cinnamon & Sugar

    Instructions

    • Remove puff pastry from freezer about 20-30 minutes before you are ready to use them.
    • Preheat oven to 400°.
    • Unfold both sheets of puff pastry and cut each one into 4 squares. I like to use a pizza cutter.
    • Add a heaping tablespoon of apple pie filling to the middle of each square of puff pastry dough. Top apple pie filling with a teaspoon {or so} of caramel sauce.
    • Fold each square in half, making a triangle. Remove any filling that comes out the sides with a clean paper towel. Using the tines of a fork, crimp the perimeter of the triangle to seal the edges of the turnover. Then use the tines of the fork to poke 2-3 holes in the top of turnover to allow for steam to escape while they bake.
    • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown and the pastry is puffed. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes.

    Apple Cider Glaze

    • While the turnovers are cooling, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Adjust the amount of apple cider according to how thick or thin you would like the glaze. I like the consistency to be thick enough to stay on the turnovers but thin enough to pour. The corn syrup will help the glaze set up faster.
    • Drizzle the glaze onto the turnovers and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while the glaze is still wet.
    • Serve your caramel apple turnovers warm or at room temperature.
    • Store in an air tight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. They are best fresh.
