Understanding more about making puffed pastry desserts- Apple Turnovers

The baked apple cinnamon filling in the flaky crust is a dream come true for dessert lovers. Packed with cream and a gooey creamy stuffing of apples coated in cinnamon, this is a wonderful treat for the taste buds.

The caramelized sauce of cinnamon oozes out in every bite and creates a sense of ultimate satisfaction as you grab a bite.

There are basically two different kinds of turnover that you will come across. One with the cream and the other the classic one from our childhood. So pick the one you prefer the most. Sprinkled with some icing sugar, the classic apple Turnovers are ready. On the other hand, you can binge on the creamiest and smooth turnover packed with whipped cream as another alternative to the precursor.

Ingredients that you are likely to need

Coming to the ingredients that you need for making a typical apple Turnover, we have listed them all for you below, so do not skip out on any as you go grocery shopping.

Apples- Opt for ripened and sweet apples when you are making apple Turnovers. Ripened apples will offer a tender texture to the filling.

Cornflour And cornstarch- Either of the two is good enough for giving a thickness to the filling. This will also ensure that the surface of the crust isn't turning soggy upon being cooled down.

Sugar- Sprinkle some sugar on the surface of the flaky crust and see how marvelous these tastes are.

Cinnamon- Used for seasoning the apples.

Vanilla- Use some vanilla extract in the dessert to enhance its taste.

Salt- A pinch of salt is added for seasoning the dish. If you thought desserts do not need seasonings then you are wrong.

How to make the puff pastries_ Simple steps and instructions

Now if you think puff pastries are tough to make then let us tell you as long as you follow the right steps, there is not much you need to worry about. Butter puff pastries are way tastier than oil-based pastries and present a rich taste. Eggs are often used as the sealing for the puff pastries.

The egg white is brushed on the surface of the turnover so that when it comes out of the oven baked and ready, the surface turns crispy and flaky.

It is optional but you can choose to add some softened whipped cream to the puff pastry. Use a stabilizing whipped cream too because you don't want the whole thing to burst out at the very first bite. Moreover, you can store the leftover Turnovers in the fridge and they will stay fine for three to four days.

When you are making apple Turnovers at home, make sure you cook the apples beforehand so that the fruit slices do not leach unnecessary liquid when stuffed inside the puff.

Put the small apple cubes in a bowl and then toss and turn with some cornflour or cornstarch. To this mix some cinnamon Powder, a pinch of salt, some sugar, and vanilla extract.

Cook this mixture on a medium flame for about five to seven minutes such that the surface turns out a bit soggy and slimy.

Now spread the filling on a flat surface which will ensure that the apples cool down faster and the liquid evaporates.

Fill the stuffing of chopped pre-cooked apples into the puff sheets and close from all the edges. Refrigerate for at least twenty minutes to half an hour before you start the process of baking.

Finally, brush with egg white to give a nice glazing on the surface. Baking is usually done at 200°C for about twenty minutes to half an hour. See to it that both sides turn out golden and crispy. Sprinkle some icing sugar dust and your treat from your childhood is recreated again.
