These Hand Pies – or Turnovers – whichever you prefer, are so easy to make. They start off with a Puff Pastry Sheet. Then add the fresh fruit. Then seal up the sides and bake! Voila!

Once they are baked, you can leave them “naked”. Or… add some MORE sugar to the top! To me, that’s the only way a turnover should be!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cups apples in cubes
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 sheet Frozen Puff Pastry 8 oz, thawed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pinch cinnamon ground

Step by Step
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 deg F (200°C).
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat. Remove the puff pastry from freezer.
  3. Wash and clean the apples and cut into cubes. Place apple cubes in a bowl and toss with sugar. Mix well and let sit while Puff Pastry is defrosting.
  4. Cut Pastry into 4 squares.
  5. Whisk egg with a teaspoon of water. Brush over pastry edges, then add ¼ cup of the apple to a corner of the pastry square. Powder a little bit of ground cinnamon on top.
    Then fold pastry over to create a triangle.
  6. Using a fork, pinch the seams closed. Coat with egg wash and sprinkle some sugar on top.
  7. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Rotate pan if necessary half way though.
  8. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then serve to you hungry family!
