Apple Turnovers

So with my rough puff pastry that I just made, I decided to use some homemade applesauce and put together some apple turnovers.

Apple Turnovers

1/2 block of Rough Puff Pastry

Applesauce (as needed)

Roll out puff pastry to about 1/4". I used the biggest round cutter I own, and punched out 9 rounds.

Using a rolling pin, roll out each round into an egg shape.

Dip your fingertip into water and on the bottom half of the egg shape wet the edges.

Place a spoonful of applesauce (or any filling you prefer).

Fold the top over the applesauce (note how it fits just inside the water line).

Press the bottom dough up over the edge sealing in the filling.

This is just for reference on the size of my turnovers.

Place on a sheet pan and brush an egg wash over the tops.

Bake at 350F until golden brown, mine took about 45 mins.

Enjoy!

Apple Sauce

This is a recipe that I love! I use just to snack on, I use it in apple turnovers, anything you can think of. Now I have used this recipe for almost 2 years now, but I still haven't tried to mix in any other fruit. That will be added to my to-do list.

Apple Sauce

yield: about 1 quart

5   Granny Smith Apples

3 Oz    Sugar

Vanilla (to taste)

Cinnamon (to taste)

Peel, Core, and cut apples into chunks.

In a sauce pan, add a tiny bit of water to coat the bottom. Put apples in and place on medium heat. Slowly add sugar, mix, add vanilla and cinnamon (if wanted).

Cook until you reach your desired consistency. Apples will start to "mush" as you stir them.

I finished mine with an immersion blender. 

Enjoy!
