Mini apple turnovers
Everyone knows them, the triangular apple turnovers with pieces of sugar on the top. The inside consists of a delicious mixture of apple pieces with cinnamon and sugar. This often also contains raisins and currants, but it is just what you like yourself. Butter is often used at the bakery. This gives a little more flavor, but contains more calories. To get as close as possible to those yummy bakery apple turnovers, you can add a little lemon zest to the apple mixture or a little rum flavor. Due to the strong aroma, the use of a few drops is sufficient.
Preferably you can use Golden Delicious or Goudreinet apples. Golden Delicious are apples that are available all year round. The use of Goudreinet is even better, because this apple has a higher acidity and has a strong structure. The flavors are better preserved this way.
Necessities
- 10 slices of puff pastry
- 3 large apples (preferably Golden Delicious or Goudreinet)
- 50 gr raisins
- 1 to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 30 g sugar
- 1 egg
Preparation
- Preheat the oven. Electric oven at 225 degrees, convection oven at 210 degrees and the gas oven at setting 5-6.
- Defrost the puff pastry slices. This is best done by separating the 10 slices and not putting them on top of each other. This means that there is a chance that they will stick together. Cut the slices into 2 halves diagonally before they are completely thawed. This creates two triangles, as it were.
- Peel the apples and make sure there are no more cores in them. Then you can cut the apples into very small cubes.
- Place the cubes in a bowl with the sugar and cinnamon. Stir these gently without crushing the apple.
- Grab a spoon and place the mixture on one half of the puff pastry triangle. Take the point where the mixture is not and fold it to the other point. This creates a smaller triangle again. Make sure that the edges fit together well and press it with your fingers.
- Mix the egg in a mug and use a brush or your fingers to spread the egg over the apple turnovers. Now you can add a little sugar and if you want, sprinkle cinnamon over it.
- Place the mini apple turnovers on a baking tray and bake them for about 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
