Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  2. 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  3. 1 1/4 pounds tart apples, such as Empire or Granny Smith (3 apples)
  4. 3 tablespoons dried cherries
  5. 3 tablespoons sugar, plus extra to sprinkle on top
  6. 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  7. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  8. 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  9. Pinch kosher salt
  10. 1 package (17.3 ounces, 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
  11. 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Combine the orange zest and orange juice in a bowl. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and then cut them in 3/4-inch dice. Immediately toss the apples with the zest and juice to prevent them from turning brown. Add the cherries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Flour a board and lightly roll each sheet of puff pastry to a 12 by 12-inch square. Cut each sheet into 4 smaller squares and keep chilled until ready to use.
  4. Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and neatly place about 1/3 cup of the apple mixture on half of the square. Fold the pastry diagonally over the apple mixture and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, make 2 small slits, and bake for 20 minutes, until browned and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Thank you, Ina for all these truly phenomenal recipe’s you share with us! ❤️ I’ll be back to rate her apple turnovers! But I’ll give her shrimp scampi a rating! 10 plus!!

I am NOT a baker by any means, but this recipe was simple and perfect! It was delicious. Now that I’ve tried it out on my hubby and dad, I’ll make it for a larger audience. It was delicious and not overly sweet !

Deliciousness!  Made these because we had a lot of apples from apple picking. Easy to make and the apple mixture is tasty all by itself before you cook it.  This is one recipe I will make every fall.  My kids ate them all up!
