Apple & Pear Turnovers
|
|
Note from Cheri:
Apples and pears make a great combo in these turnovers, but you could
just as easily use all apples. All pears is not my favorite, but I'm not
generally a huge pear fan. Try it you may like it.
Serves 4
1 sheet
frozen puff pastry dough
2 baking medium baking apples (most any variety with the exception
of Macintosh will do)
2 medium sized pears
2 tsp. butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. allspice
1 egg |

Pre-heat oven to 375°
F. Peel, core and slice the apples and pears. Mix sugar and spices together.
Mix sliced apples and pears. Pour sugar mixture over fruit and stir until
well mixed and coated. Beat egg. Set aside.
Follow package directions for thawing and rolling dough. Roll one sheet
of puff pastry dough into a large square. Cut square into four smaller
squares. Put 1/4 fruit mixture in center of a square, but 1/4 the butter
on piece and fold the dough over to form a triangle. Pinch edges closed
(hint: you can use little water to help stubborn dough edges to stick
together). Place turnovers on a greased
baking
sheet. Brush
with beaten egg and bake for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.
