Apple turnovers are the kind of pastry that makes any morning feel special. A golden, shattering-crisp puff pastry shell encases a warm, cinnamon-spiced apple filling that is sweet, tender, and fragrant. Finished with a simple vanilla glaze, these are everything you love about apple pie in a handheld, portable package.
Using store-bought puff pastry makes these surprisingly quick and easy. The filling cooks on the stovetop in just a few minutes — diced apples sauteed with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until soft and jammy. The assembly is straightforward, and the oven does the rest.
Make these for weekend brunch, an afternoon snack, or a simple dessert. They are best served warm, when the pastry is at its flakiest and the filling is still gooey.
