- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 puff pastry sheets
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
Apple Turnovers:
- Peel, core, and chop the apples to ½ inch cubes.
- In a skillet melt the butter on medium heat.
- Add the apples and cook 3-4 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook an additional 3 minutes, stirring until the apples are coated and the sugar melts. Remove from heat.
- Cut one thawed puff pastry sheet into four squares.
- Add a heaping spoonful of the apple mix to each square, then fold the square over to create a triangle.
- Press the edges shut to seal. Use a fork to pinch the edges further.
- Cut a small hole into the top of the turnover to allow the turnover to breathe while cooking.
- Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet.
- Place turnovers on a greased baking sheet.
- Cook at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
Glaze:
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl.
- Allow the turnovers to cool completely.
- Drizzle mix generously over the cooled turnovers.
Notes
*Keep puff pastry sheets cool until ready to use.
**Try to seal each turnover as well as possible to prevent the apple mix from leaking out.
***If your pastries puff too much, simply press them down lightly after they come out of the oven.
