RECIPE:
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
Thaw pastry dough as instructed on packaging
Melt 2 tbsp of unsalted butter on a medium sauce pan on medium heat, add in your apples and cook for about 5 minutes or until soft. Make sure to stir occasionally.
Reduce the heat and add in 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and cook until apples are soft and caramelized. Once ready, remove from heat and set aside.
Unfold your thawed pastry dough, cut into squares. You should get about 6 squares, these will make 6 medium size turnovers.
Place the cooled apple mixture into the center of each square and fold over from corner to corner to form a triangle shape and press the edges with a fork to seal. Beat 1 egg and 1 tbsp of water and brush egg wash lightly on pastry dough.
Place the formed turnovers into a lined baking sheet and leave about and inch or so apart.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
While they are baking in the oven , prepare your glaze by adding 1/2 cup of powdered sugar into a mixing bowl, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1-2 tbsp of heavy whipping cream. Slowly add in you heavy whipping cream to get the right consistency. You might need more or less of heavy whipping cream. If you do add in too much heavy whipping cream, just add in more of powdered sugar and mix.
Once Turnovers are ready, drizzle over the glaze while they are still warm and enjoy!
