Gluten free apple turnovers made easy This quick recipe yields delicious flaky pastry using simple techniques Perfect homemade dessert everyone will loveÂ
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (approx. 14 oz) gluten-free puff pastry, thawed
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch until everything is evenly coated.
- On a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour!), roll out your pastry dough into a large rectangle. Cut it into 4 or 6 smaller squares.
- Spoon a generous amount of the apple mixture onto one half of each square, leaving a border around the edge. Brush the edges with a little water, then fold the dough over to create a triangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges tightly, sealing in all that goodness.
- Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until they are puffed up and a beautiful deep golden brown.
- Let them cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes before diving in. That filling is like molten lava straight from the oven!
