A turnover is a type of pastry that is made by placing a filling on a piece of dough, folding it over, and sealing it. Turnovers can be made with a variety of different fillings, but apple is a classic choice. These turnovers are easy to make and only require a few ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Method
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
- Mix together the applesauce, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Spread the mixture over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Roll up the pastry, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side.
- Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces.
- Place the pieces, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Potential changes & improvements
You could try using a different type of fruit filling, such as raspberry or strawberry. You could also add a streusel topping made with flour, sugar, and butter.
What other food it works well with
These turnovers would be delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Common Mistakes
Be sure to thaw the puff pastry before using it. If it is not completely thawed, it will be difficult to work with. Do not overfill the pastry or the filling will leak out during baking.
