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 .
