Apple Turnover
I am an apple pie lover. I love the crunchiness of the cooked puff pastry and the sweet and sourness of the apple, not so much on the cinnamon though. I used to buy those fried apple pie from a junk food outlet, because it is cheap and always available everywhere whenever I crave for it. Few months ago, I bumped into apple turnover in a Chinese bakery Chinatown and I loved it ever since. They are so much healthier because they are baked and not fried like the the cheap one.
Few days ago, I had a ready rolled puff pastry left over in the fridge and I thought ‘why not making the apple turnover for my toddler’. I always want to give him a variety of foods to try on, so he could learn to love and appreciate healthy food. So I did the apple turnover my style. I mix the diced apples with honey instead of sugar, spread some ricotta cheese on the ready rolled puff pastry, put a spoonful of apple mixture, fold them into triangles, sprinkle some sugar to make the top sparkly appetizing, and they turned out to be a hit.
Ingredients
- ready used rolled puff pastry
- 2 apples (preferably Granny Smith or Pink Lady), cut into small cubes
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon (can be added more to your preferences)
- ricotta cheese for spreading
- melted butter for brushing
- white sugar to sprinkle
Instructions
- Mix the apples, honey, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Cut the puff pastry into square 12×12 cm.
- Spread generous amount of ricotta cheese onto the puff pastry (not too close to the edges). Spoon 2 tbsp of apple mixture into the puff pastry. Close the pastry to shape like a triangle. Press the edges with fork.
- Preheat the oven 170 C.
- Brush the triangle apple turnover with melted butter and sprinkle white sugar on top.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry well-puffed.
