Easy Upside Down Apple Turnovers
These easy upside down apple turnovers are made with flaky puff pastry, thinly sliced cinnamon apples, and very little added sugar. They’re baked in the oven for a simple toddler-friendly snack or fall dessert the whole family can enjoy!
Equipment
- cutting board
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet apple apple such as Gala, Fuji, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup optional
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed according to package directions
- 1 large egg milk or melted butter wash for egg-free
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Core the apple and slice it very thinly. Peel it first if desired. Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles.
- Arrange 3-4 apple slices in 6 different sections, sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle maple syrup or honey (if using), then place a puff pastry rectangle on top.
- Whisk the egg, then lightly brush the mixture over the puff pastry. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Let the turnovers cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Carefully flip each one over with a spatula. Allow them to cool to a safe temperature before cutting and serving.
