Golden puff pastry turnovers filled with caramel apples, coated in cinnamon sugar, and served with apple butter sauce and custard. A cozy autumn dessert made easy.

Ingredients

For the turnovers

1 sheet ready-to-roll puff pastry (about 250g) thawed if frozen
1 Cup (180g) Coarsely grated apple (about 4 apples – 2 sweet, 2 cooking), excess juice squeezed out
4 tbsp thick caramel or dulce de leche
Water, for brushing
40 g unsalted butter, melted

For the cinnamon sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp granulated sugar

Method

Preheat the oven

Preheat to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Make the filling

Place the grated, drained apple in a medium bowl.
Add the caramel/dulce de leche and stir until well combined.

Prepare the pastry

Cut the puff pastry into 9 squares (for medium turnovers) or 16 smaller squares.
Place 1 teaspoon (for small) or 1 tablespoon (for medium) of filling in the center of each square.
Brush the edges lightly with water, fold over into a triangle to enclose, and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Bake

Arrange the turnovers on the prepared tray. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Make the cinnamon sugar

While the turnovers bake, mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

Finish the turnovers

Remove from the oven and while still warm, brush with melted butter. Toss gently in the cinnamon sugar until coated.

Serve

Serve the warm cinnamon-sugar turnovers with warm vanilla bean custard and a dollop of apple butter sauce for dipping.
