If visitors are suddenly announced and there is only a little time left to show off fresh pastries, these apple turnovers are just the thing. In just a few minutes you have such a delicious snack ready.
Even including the fixed detour to the supermarket, this treat still makes it onto the table when time is of the essence. The puff pastry cases hardly take any work and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream they are also an absolute treat in spring and summer weather – or even when we need a distraction from the rain.
This is how you prepare the apple turnovers
Ingredients
- 2 packs of puff pastry rolls
- 2 apples
- 150 g dark chocolate shavings
- optional: 1 pack of vanilla ice cream and a sugar and cinnamon mixture
preparation
- Wash and core the apples and cut them into thin slices.
- Now heat a pan with a lid over medium heat and add the apple pieces with some water. Put the lid on and let the apple chunks cook (and soften) for 4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and use the residual heat to mix the chocolate shavings with the apple pieces.
- Now preheat the oven to the desired temperature according to the puff pastry packaging.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut each into six rectangles.
- Put 1-2 tablespoons of filling in the top corner (on the short side of the rectangle) and fold the free short end over it. Press the overlapping ends of the dough together with the tips of a fork – making sure there are no gaps at the edges.
- Place the finished dumplings on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. If you like, you can carefully cut three slits on the surface with a knife and sprinkle some sugar over the finished apple turnovers.
- Bake the apple turnovers according to the packaging (usually 12 to 15 minutes). They should look golden brown and crispy.
- Take the apple turnovers out of the oven and let them cool down a bit.
- Serve while still warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sugar and cinnamon mixture sprinkled lightly over the creation.
A little hint: If you want the apple turnovers to look particularly golden, you can brush the dough with egg yolk before baking.
More delicious creations
Instead of chocolate shavings, you can also use vanilla sauce or some butter and sugar for the apple mixture. With sugar, the apples caramelize slightly if they are previously steamed in the pan. If you prefer to choose a more natural variant, you can use honey. That also tastes wonderful. Other fruits such as strawberries in summer are also possible.
