Puff Pastry

Puff pastry is our all time favorite dough to use year-round so we always make sure to have puff pastry on-hand in our freezer. It is so versatile and you can use it with just about any ingredients in your pantry or refrigerator to make a quick and easy snack, appetizer, lunch, dessert and so much more! Here is a simple recipe using puff pastry with apples for a simple dessert – now remember, you can use the same preparation steps below with not only apples but pears, peaches, apricots, berries and even chocolate - YUM! Or for a savory bite, stuff it with some sausage, ham, cheese, olives, herbs, and any vegetables you desire! 

Apple Turnovers
(Yield: 4 servings)

Ingredients
•2 apples, peeled, cut into ½ inch dice
•4 tablespoons brown sugar
•1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour 
•1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
•1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
•4 sheets of frozen puff pastry, defrosted
•1 egg, beaten with 2 tablespoons water 

Preparation
•Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
•In a bowl, toss apples with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly coat.
•Brush edges of puff pastry with egg wash and place about 3 tablespoons of the apple mixture on half of the sheet. Fold pastry diagonally over the mixture to form a triangle. Seal by pressing the edges with a fork. 
•Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with egg wash. 
•Using a small paring knife cut a small “x” in the center of the triangle to create a steam vent.
•Bake for 20 minutes until browned and puffed. Let cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.
