Homemade Apple Turnovers
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
1/2 cup white sugar
1 TBL fresh lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
small container of applesauce
box of puff pastry
-follow directions on puff pastry box for defrost instructions. I usually just let them sit out on the counter for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
-put apples, sugar, lemon juice, and salt into food processor and pulse for about 5 pulses. Let sit for 5 minutes.
-put apples in a strainer over a bowl and save the reserved juice for later
-roll out puff pastry to 10x10 square. Cut into 4 5x5 squares.
-place 1 TBL of apple mixture and 1 TBL of applesauce in the center, brush with reserved apple juice, fold over, and then crimp with a fork. Transfer to a wire rack.
-put apple turnovers in freezer for about an hour and then transfer to a freezer bag and store.
-to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees and let apple turnovers defrost for 20 minutes. Brush with a little water and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 20-26 minutes, until well browned.
-serve with vanilla ice cream, enjoy!
