Serves/Makes: 8
Ready In: 30-60 minutes
Ingredients:
1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)
4 large apples
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
Peel, core then slice the apples.
Over low heat, in a medium saucepan, cook the apples with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon juice. Stir often, until apples are tender.
Once tender, refrigerate until cool.
Preheat oven to 400.
Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll each sheet into a 12-inch square then cut into four 6-inch squares.
Place 1/4 cup of the apple mixture in the center of each square.
Brush the edges with water, then fold to form triangles. Be sure to seal the edges firmly with a fork.
Place on baking sheets. Bake 25 minutes or until golden.
Cool on wire rack.
Serving Suggestion: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup confectioners sugar and 1 tablespoon water. With a spoon, drizzle over the turnover, allow it to set before serving.
These are also good with a handful of raisins or dried cranberries or craisins or chopped prunes or chopped walnuts; and you can substitute pears or do half pears and half apples; and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar if you don’t want to use icing. I have also made these leaving out the cinnamon and they were still good. You can also add a bit of nutmeg. But they are really easy to make and so enjoyable!
Reguarding leaving out the cinnamon, why? Cinnamon has shown to have great health benefits and should be used whenever possible in your foods. I cannot wait to try this as I love Arby’s turnovers. Thanks for the recipe.
Can you make these turnovers with Splenda instead of sugar?
Sure you can substitute.
I have a few family members that cannot eat the cinnamon so I have had to make many baked items without adding cinnamon. Personally - I love cinnamon - but I am not cooking for just myself. Many times I make it both ways - then everyone can enjoy it!
made these and they were absolutely mouth watering. Have never tryed these turnovers at Applebees but these reminded my of the premade Pepperidge Farm turnovers you find in the fozen section. Followed the recipe to the letter and they were delicious.
I “can” apples, - so I know what’s in the apple. Can you start with canned (preserved apples?
I worked at Arby’s YEARS ago. The icing doesn’t use water =). We used liquid coffee creamer (half and half). Hope that makes your turn-overs taste better!
I worked at Arby’s from 1997-1999, and our turnovers came frozen and the icing was already prepared.
Dear Kitchen Witch: What about subbing Mace or Cake Flavoring(from Penzeys). I use them both many times when I don’t feel like using cinnamon and never have had a complaint. Just a suggestion.
