Apple turnovers topped with brown butter and puff pastry sound like a delightful treat! Here's a simple recipe you can follow to make these delicious pastries:
Ingredients: – 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced – 1/4 cup granulated sugar – 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice – 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour – 1 package of puff pastry sheets, thawed according to package instructions – 4 tablespoons unsalted butter – Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and all-purpose flour. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
3 In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook the butter, swirling the pan occasionally, until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the butter. Once browned, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. 4. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the puff pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference and the size of turnovers you desire.
5. Place a spoonful of the apple mixture onto one half of each puff pastry square. Leave a small border around the edges. 6. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with a little water, then fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle shape. Press the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
7.. Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the turnovers with the brown butter. 8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed up.
9. Once baked, remove the turnovers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 10. If desired, dust the cooled turnovers with powdered sugar before serving.
