Apple Turnover Ingredients
-Puff Pastry Sheets-2 sheets of puff pastry, or one box will make 8 turnovers.
-Apple Pie Filling-Just one large can of pie filling is all that you will need to make this recipe.
-Egg-one beaten egg, plus one teaspoon water to seal the edges.
Almond Icing
-Milk: Just enough to thin down the sugar and make a drizzling icing for our turnovers.
-Powdered Sugar: To give us a thick and sweet creamy glaze.
-Almond Extract: Adding a little subtle flavor that pairs great with all the other ingredients in this dish.
How to make Puff Pastry Apple Turnovers
To make this simple Apple Turnover Recipe, start by rolling out the thawed puff pastry dough. Slice each pastry sheet into 4 equal squares using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
Place about 3 tablespoons of pie filling into the center of each square.
In a small bowl whisk one egg with one teaspoon of water. Use a clean finger or pastry brush to spread the egg wash on the edge of the pastry dough.
Fold the corner without egg wash over to the edge with the egg wash. Press the edges together with your fingers and then with the tines of a fork to seal the edge.
Place the turnover onto a baking sheet that has been greased or lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a 400ºF oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden, puffy, and flaky.
How to make Almond Glaze for Apple Turnovers
This glaze is so simple to make, you will be glazing everything once you give it a try!!
To make the glaze combine the powdered sugar, milk and almond extract in a small bowl. Mix until it is a thick liquid. The glaze should fall easily off the end of a spoon or fork. If you feel it is too thick, add more milk, one-two drops at a time, or if it is too runny add just a pinch of powdered sugar at a time.
Using a fork or spoon, drizzle the turnovers with the almond icing. This is best done when the turnovers have cooled a bit, if you can wait.
Enjoy!

How to store Apple Turnovers
If you aren’t going to eat these apple turnovers right away, these can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
To warm them up before serving, place in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Can I use vanilla extract instead?
Absolutely! The almond extract adds a great flavor to this simple icing recipe but you can swap it out with any extract flavor for a different experience, including vanilla!
Can I freeze turnovers?
Yes, but I recommend doing it before baking. After assembling your turnovers, place them on a baking sheet and flash freeze for about 2 hours until solid before transferring to an airtight container in the freezer. Then, when you want to bake one, simply place it on a baking tray and bake as directed, adding a minute or two to the total cook time. Now you can enjoy fresh from the oven turnovers whenever you want. Use frozen turnovers within 3 months for best tasting results.

Kaylie says
Mine too! Thank you, Jenn!
Katie says
Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try this one.
Kaylie says
Thank you, Katie!
Ivy says
Yesssss!!!!!!! Simply delicious and I added golden raisins.. I first soaked some raisins in warm water to remove the sugar coated and the raisin puffed up in size. So then when to turn overs was done the raisins were plumed and juicy along with the apples…incredibly delicious. Thank you for your simple recipe
Jessica says
Ooh- adding raisins is a great idea!! So glad you liked them!
Simon says
i had some leftover homemade apple filling from making a pie.
For the glaze I substituted lemon instead of water, very good.
Jessica says
That sounds amazing Simon! Glad you liked them!
Chelsi Volpe says
How would I improvise baking time with premade pie crust?
Nicole says
With pie crust it would bake for about the half of the time as puff pastry, but the texture is going to be completely different because you created hand pies and not a turnover.
Pat says
I’ve made this several times and everyone loves them. I chop the apples in the filling and add extra cinnamon to the pie filling. As a short cut I use cake frosting. I want to try with cherries and maybe strawberry or blueberry fillings
Jessica says
I love the idea of a cherry turnover with almond icing! YUM!
Sherry says
Could I use canned peach pie filling instead of apples?
Jessica says
I think that’d work beautifully Sherry!
