Easily The Best Cinnamon Apple Turnover Recipe Ever

JERK TAVERNAugust 19, 2021

I was with my husband for over 7 years before he found out about my hidden talent of baking during the pandemic. He was furious when he tasted the first thing that I baked (that recipe is coming soon!!) My husband was so shocked because he always tried to make deserts and they were always a fail lol. He is a huge dessert guy so he couldn’t believe I never baked for him. This Cinnamon Apple Turnover was the best thing I’ve baked thus far in my opinion. He would beg to differ. Apple turnovers are now a fave to make,

What pastry is apple turnovers made from?

This cinnamon apple turnover recipe was made with puff Pastry. We chose puff Pastry because We love the flakiness that it gives and the crunchiness with every bite. And the cinnamon apple turnover recipe was perfect with the puff pastry.

What does turnover means?

Turnovers can be sweet or savory it can be a meal or dessert. In our opinion it’s best as dessert. A Turnover dessert is an individual pie formed when you fold a piece of pastry in half with filling inside of the pastry. Then press the edges together to seal it shut so that the filling doesn’t come out. You can bake turnovers or fry them, it’s all about preference. Our preference is to bake them for this Cinnamon Apple Turnover Recipe.

Why did we choose gala apple for our Apple Turnovers?

We chose red apples for our Apple Turnover because gala apples have a mellow sweetness and because of its sweetness the gala apple doesn’t need much sugar. The gala apples are easily broken down when heated. And we were going for a very soft jam like texture for the apples that’s why we used the gala apples for this recipe. So we highly recommend the gala apples if you want a soft buttery jam like filling in your Cinnamon Apple Turnover Recipe. 

How long does Cinnamon Apple turnovers last?

Well, our Cinnamon Apple Turnovers did not last even a day! This recipe is such a banger that  the turnovers didn’t make it through the night. But normally puff pastry turnovers last up to 5 days in the fridge and 1-2 days in airtight container. To warm up your apple turnovers simply just put it in the toaster oven to reheat for 6-8 mins at 375F and  you will have a warm and crispy turnover. Or you can have it cold either way this Cinnamon Apple Turnover taste so good!! 

We hope you enjoyed this recipe as much as we enjoyed making it for you!! Be sure to tag us @jerktavern on all social media platforms whenever you try this Cinnamon Apple Turnover Recipe

Wisdom

 There is good news and we cannot keep it to ourselves. We have to declare it to the world because we are not ashamed. We have to share the most important news that must be known to all people across the world. The good news is that Jesus Christ loves us so much that he died for our sins. Because the truth is none of us is good and we need a savior to save us. If you notice in movies there is always a hero. And I’m here to tell you the ultimate hero of all time is Christ because he died for the whole world.  So I pray that you will seek him now while he can be found and call upon him while he is near. Just ask him to reveal himself to you. Because it’s a free gift. And salvation is for EVERYONE .

Christ Bless You.

Ingredients

• Puff Pastry
• 4-5 Gala Apples
• 2 tbsp butter to brown
• 2 or 3 green apples
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup white granulatedsugar
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon or to taste
• 1 or 2 tsp of water if needed
• 1/2 tbs of Nutmeg
• 1 tbsp of vanilla
• 2 drops of almond essence
• 1 tsp of lemon juice
• 1 egg + 1 tbsp of unsweetened almond milk for egg wash (milk optional)
• 1 tbsp of honey

Instructions

• Wash apples
  
• Peel skin off the apples
  
• Dices apples in medium to small pieces
  
• Add the butter to the pot on medium heat
• When the butter is a nutty gold color add your apples
• Add your salt to the apples
• Add your brown sugar
• Add your granulated sugar
• Add almond essence
• Add your Cinnamon
• Add nutmeg
• Add vanilla
• Add lemon juice
• Add water
• Now let the apples break down into a soft jam like texture. They will swell and break down, swell and break down. We wanted a very soft bite with our filling so it was on for about 30 mins
  
• Sprinkle some flour on the surface your putting your puff pastry so that it doesn’t stick to the surface
• While the apple breaks down roll out your puff pastry with a rolling pin (flour the filling pin also)
• Cut the puff pastry with a knife or pizza cutter into your desired size
  
• When your apples are done and you have a soft jammy consistency let it cool before adding it to the pastry. (We put ours in the freezer for a faster cooling time)
• Pre-heat your oven to 375F
• As it cools make your egg wash with your egg and almond milk( we used almond milk in the egg wash because it adds a Carmel flavor and thins out the egg wash)
• When the filling is cool it’s time to add it to your puff pastry
  
• When you have added your filling fold the pastry in half it will have a triangle shape
  
• After you have folded it in half press the edges down with your fingers to close up your Apple turnovers
• After you have pressed the edges you can use a fork to further seal the edges and also give it a nice look.(it doesn’t have to be perfect mine certainly were not)
  
• Poke holes in the top of the pastry with a fork so that the steam can escape and don’t puff up too much
  
• Add egg wash too all the turn overs
• Sprinkle some granulated sugar on top off all the apple turnovers this is optional but I recommend it
  
• Now add your Turnovers to the pre heated oven for it
• 30 minutes to get a nice golden brown crust
• You can stop here but I like to drizzle some honey on top for presentation wise but it also takes the turnover to another level!!
• Add some confectioners’ sugar and some cinnamon for presentation
• Now you are all set to serve .

Notes

We  used almond milk in the egg wash because it adds a Carmel flavor and thins out the egg wash and encourages browning.

For a soft jammy filling we let the apples break down for about 30 mins
