While trying to avoid all things with dairy (this is any dairy items made from cow’s milk) I am constantly reworking recipes that I can make substitutions for (cow’s milk) dairy.
I was very excited to find out the ‘Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry’ has no dairy. And, of course, I needed to use this marvelous product in a recipe.
This sweet little ‘Cinnamon & Sugar Apple Turnover Recipe’ was just the thing. Because there are times you need a ‘little sweet’ at the end of your day.
Cinnamon & Sugar Glazed Apple Turnovers
Ingredience:
1 box Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry (thaw according to package directions)
Filling:
2 apples (peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped)
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of apple sauce
- Heat oven to 400º
- In a food processor place the apples, lemon juice, and salt. Pulse until the apples are chopped into pieces no large than 1/2 inch. Allow this mixture to sit for 5 minutes.
- Place this mixture in a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl. Drain the mixture and reserve the juices.
- Take the drained mixture and transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in the apple sauce.
- Place one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured work surface. Cut into 4 (5-inch) squares.
- Fill each square with 2 Tablespoons of the apple mixture. Brush the edges with reserved apple juice. Fold over pastry at the corner to form a triangle and crimp the edges with a fork.
- Repeat this same process with the 2nd sheet of puff pastry.
- Place prepared turnovers on a tray and place in freezer until firm. About 15 minutes.
- Remove from freezer and place turnovers onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush tops with reserved apple juice and sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar topping (recipe below).
- Bake in 400º oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Rotating baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- After turnovers have cooled drizzle on the prepared glaze. (recipe below)
Cinnamon & Sugar Topping:
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
Glaze:
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
2 to 3 Tablespoons milk (of your choice) or water
1 teaspoon vanilla
Put sugar in a bowl. Slowly stir in the milk and vanilla to make a smooth, pourable glaze. (You may need less or more milk/water depending on how thick you want your glaze.)
