Today I made these quick and easy apple turnovers. You could make them with any fruit filling you want, but I happened to have apples on hand. I think lemon blueberry, sweet cherry or even peach could be good, too.
I sliced and peeled one large apple, and cooked it on medium heat in a saucepan with 3-4 T of cornstarch, 2 T water, 1/3 cup white sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. You could easily change the spices to match the fruit you use. The sugar mixture thickens as it cooks and turns more syrupy the longer it heats.
I quartered one sheet of puff pastry, filled each half with a few slices, and then used a little water to moisten the edges and fold and seal the pastries. To give it a little extra, I pressed around the edges with a fork and brushed the top with milk (although I think I'd use egg white next time).
They baked for about 15 minutes at 400 F. Once cooled, I dusted with powdered sugar! Powdered sugar makes everything better.
These were quick, easy and hit the spot for a sweet craving. They met the approval of the bf, although if they didn't, I'd probably just have eventually ended up eating them all myself.
