Prep Time:
20 minutes
Cook Time:
35 minutes
Servings:
6 Pastries
Ingredients
  • 3 Granny Smith apples (or any tart variety)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of ground nutmeg
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons spiced rum, divided
  • 1 pack ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
  1. Peel the apples, and then dice them finely.
  2. Sauté the finely diced apples in the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice for 10 minutes. Then, add 2 tablespoons of spiced rum and continue to cook the apples until they are softened, roughly 5 minutes. Leave them to cool.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  4. Cut out 6 squares of puff pastry and add 1 heaping tablespoon of the cooled apple filling to one corner of the pastry. Beat the egg and then brush a little around the edge of the pastry square, before folding the other side over the top to make a triangle. Crimp the edges using a fork, then brush with a little of the beaten egg to finish off. Complete all 6 pastries and then place them in the oven to cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are puffed up and golden.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar with the remaining tablespoon of spiced rum, the vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix everything together until a smooth paste has formed, then drizzle it over the top of the cooled apple turnovers.
