Ingredients

  • 4 Small or 2 large Granny Smith apples, chopped and peeled
  • 4 Tablespoons Cold water
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 100 g Soft brown sugar (½ Cup)
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
  • 500 g Pack ready-to-roll puff pastry (17.5 oz)
  • Melted butter to brush the pastry (or plant-based milk)

For the glaze:

  • 45 g Icing sugar (1/3 Cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon Plant-based milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F (or 180°C/ 350°F if you're using a fan or convection oven) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Set the puff pastry out at room temperature to allow it to soften while you prepare the apple turnover filling.

  3. Add the chopped apples to a large pan along with the water, cornflour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well.

  4. Turn the heat on medium and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.

  5. Roll out your puff pastry to around 1/2 cm thick. Divide it evenly into 8 squares using a knife or pizza cutter. Discard any uneven edges.

  6. Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry diagonally over the filling to join at the corners, then seal the edges using a fork. Be careful not to overfill them.

  7. Lightly brush each pastry with melted vegan butter or plant-based milk. 

  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the turnovers are light golden brown. Once baked, transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  9. Prepare your glaze by mixing together the icing sugar, plant-based milk and vanilla extract. Drizzle it over the cooled turnovers and enjoy!
