Mixture:
* 4 cups water
* 4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch
* 1 tablespoon water
* 1 (17.25 ounce) package Pepperidge Farm frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
Glaze:
* 1 cup confectioners' sugar
* 1 tablespoon milk
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place apples into hot skillet. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Add brown sugar, and cinnamon, and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Pour into the skillet, and mix well. Cook for another minute, or until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
3. Unfold puff pastry sheets, and repair any cracks by pressing them back together. Trim each sheet into a square. Then cut each larger square into 4 smaller squares. Spoon apples onto the center of each squares. Fold over from corner to corner into a triangle shape, and press edges together to seal. Place turnovers on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
Note* (The filling you see is obviously not apples. I also did a strawberry filling and forgot a photo
of the apples. whoops!)
4. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until turnovers are puffed and lightly browned. Cool completely before glazing.
6. To make the glaze, mix together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl. Adjust the thickness by adding more sugar or milk if necessary. Drizzle glaze over the cooled turnovers. If you don't want to make the glaze, you can brush beaten egg over the top of each turnover, and sprinkle with white sugar before baking.
(Applying the glaze can be some what of a fine art. Something I have not perfected yet.)
Voila! A yummy treat to serve. I recommend taking a walk after eating these.
As an added bonus, here's a fun way to cut down on your caloric intake: After completing the final step above, put the turnovers in a car and take them to Eddie and Sarah's.
drool....
