Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling
  • 4 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced into 1.25cm cubes (about 6 cups) Feel free to swap with other tart varieties.
  • 2 tsp cornflour/cornstarch
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
For the Pastry
  • 2 sheets puff pastry (25 cm / 10"; butter preferred)
  • 1 egg whisked (for egg wash) Can substitute with almond milk or water-flour mixture for a vegan option.
  • 2 batches stabilized whipped cream or stiff whipped cream For serving.
  • 1 batch whipped cream for dunking
  • Icing sugar/powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Method
 

Filling Preparation
  1. Place the diced apples in a large saucepan, toss them with cornflour, then add in cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium to medium-high heat for about five minutes, or until the apples are softened but still have a bit of bite.
  2. Transfer the apple mixture to a large plate, spreading it out to cool completely.
Assembly
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F or 180°C fan).
  2. Cut each puff pastry sheet into four squares. Brush the edges of two sides with the whisked egg.
  3. Spoon some of the cooled apple filling onto the egg-brushed side, then fold over the pastry to create a triangle shape. Seal the edges with a fork.
  4. Place the turnovers in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to help them puff up nicely in the oven.
Baking
  1. Transfer the chilled turnovers onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the leftover egg wash and use a fork to stab three slits in each turnover for steam to escape.
  2. Bake for 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar, and accompanied by whipped cream for dunking.
