Caramelised Apple Turnovers
Makes 8 turnovers
1½ tbsp unsalted butter
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, halved and thinly sliced
3 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
450g or 2 sheets packaged puff pastry, thawed
Melted butter for brushing
Ice cream or fresh whipped cream to serve
n Melt butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add sliced apples,
sugar and cinnamon. Turn heat down to medium-low and cook apples
for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once soft and
slightly caramelized remove and reserve.
n On a floured work surface, roll each sheet of pastry into a large square.
Cut each sheet of rolled pastry so that there are four 13 x 25cm
rectangles (two rectangles per pastry sheet).
n Place approximately 110g of apple on the bottom half of each pastry
rectangle. Fold the top part of the pastry down to cover the apples, and
close the turnovers by pressing a fork around the pastry edge to create a
sealed 13 x 13cm pocket.
n Brush the tops of each pocket with melted butter.
n Pre-heat the sandwich maker to high.
n When green indicator lights, place two apple turnovers into pre-heated
sandwich plates. Close unit and bake for approximately 8 to 10 minutes,
until pastry is evenly golden.
n Bake the remaining two turnovers. Cut into individual turnovers along
the perforated edge.
n Top turnovers with vanilla ice cream and/or fresh whipped cream.
