Apple cinnamon turnovers (recipe)

Apple envelopes! – JD, 4

When we made a pair of apple puff pastry tarts last week, I have to confess we made far too much apple mix. And since we had a ready rolled puff pastry square still left in the pack, we decided to make these super simple puff pastry apple turnovers.

Here’s what to do:

Ingredients

• 1 red, crisp apple
• 25g muscovado light brown unrefined cane sugar
• Pinch of cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 sheet of puffy pastry (1/2 a ready roll pack)
• 1 medium free range egg
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Core the apples, halve and then slice thinly (just a couple of mm ideally), hen chop roughly
2. Toss in the lemon juice, muscovado sugar and cinnamon until well combined
3. Unroll one sheet of puff pastry and slice lengthways, then three times width ways to create six equal rectangles
4. Place a little of the apple mix into the middle of each section of pastry and folder over to create triangles
5. Pinch along the edges to seal
6. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with the granulated sugar
7. Bake on a non-stick tray at 220C (200C fan assisted) for 20-25 minutes until well browned and puffed up
8. Cool then dust with icing sugar before serving

Perfect for packing up in a container and taking with you for a quick snack during weekend adventures – or even bonfire night!
