Apple Turnovers with Vanilla Glaze

See the updated version of this
apple turnover recipe here!

We are a family that loves cereal. We love all kinds of cereal. Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese’s Puffs… you name it, and we’ll eat it. And not just for breakfast either. I’ll eat a nice, big bowl of cereal for dinner when I’m too tired to cook and be perfectly satisfied. But on weekends, I get the urge to treat my family to a delicious, not-out-of-a-box breakfast that will totally blow their minds. This recipe, my friends, does just that! My Apple Turnovers with Vanilla Glaze are not only the perfect breakfast pastry, but make a wonderful sweet treat any time of the day! And the smell that fills your kitchen while cooking these scrumptious turnovers is absolutely heavenly!
Apple Turnovers with Vanilla Glaze - the perfect breakfast pastry! #recipe
The turnovers are a cinch to put together with the help of frozen puff pastry. If you’ve never tried using it before, now is definitely the time! It bakes up beautifully with lots of flaky, delicious layers. I keep some in the freezer all the time to whip up quick pastries and desserts like this!

I like to use two different apples for these turnovers to get the perfect mix of sweet and tart. Fuji and Granny Smith apples work great! The apples are sauteed in butter until tender and a mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla creates a wonderful, thick sauce around the apples that smells out of this world! I could probably eat those apples straight out of the pan!

And as if the apple turnovers aren’t already delicious enough, I add a vanilla glaze that sends them totally over the top!

Apple Turnovers
2 medium apples – peeled, cored, and diced
2 Tablespoons butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg white
1 Tablespoon water
1 (17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add apples and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, ginger, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook and stir 3 minutes until apples are tender and sauce is thickened. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, unfold pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Pinch together seams if necessary. With a sharp knife, cut each sheet into four squares. Mix the egg white and water in a small bowl and brush the edges of the pasty squares with egg wash. Spoon 1/8 of the mixture into the center of the 1 pastry square. Fold pastry in half diagonally and pinch the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining squares. Bake at 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes until the top is puffed and nicely browned. Remove turnovers from pan to a wire rack and cool 10 minutes.
Vanilla Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Mix to a smooth, thick consistency. Add more milk to thin, if necessary. Drizzle glaze over warm turnovers and serve.
*Apple Turnovers are best served the same day as baking. They can be reheated in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes to bring back that fresh out of the oven taste!
Enjoy!

    Made them this morning and they were easy to make and delicious! My only change was to add an extra apple and water to the apple mixture. I think next time I will cut the cornstarch amount in half because it was so much that I was forced to add water, otherwise it tasted like raw cornstarch. Bu that was it. I will make again, thank you for the recipe and lovely photos!

    These were amazing! I only had one pastry sheet, but if I made two I would certainly have to double the filling recipe šŸ™‚ I left out the lemon juice because I forgot it at the store, but still perfect regardless!

    These turned out beautiful! My first experience making turnovers. I used to XL honey crisp apples. When diced small, I ended up with 3 cups. I started filling the turnovers with 2 T. of apple mixture and realized that was to much, so I cut it back to 1 1/2 T. and it turned out perfect. I bruised the tops of the turnovers before baking. They look beautiful! I lined my baking sheet with parchment paper, I would recommend this. Thank you for the recipe!

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🄺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!
