Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lightly oiled

Ingredients

  • 320 g Puff Pastry - ready rolled
  • 450 g Apples - peeled, cored and diced weight
  • 1 tbsp Butter - vegan
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon - ground
  • tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Milk - plant-based
  • 1 tbsp White sugar - for sprinkling

For glaze (optional)

  • ¼ cup Icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp Vegan cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200c.
  • Gently melt the vegan butter in a large saucepan and add the diced apples, cinnamon and salt.
  • Cook over low heat until the apples are tender but not mushy.
  • Sprinkle over the brown sugar, mix gently and cook for another minute or 2, until the sugar has melted.
  • Leave to cool.
  • Cut the pre rolled puff pastry into four squares (trimming if needed to make square).
  • Fill the middle of each square with a heaping amount of the apple mixture, but leave enough space to be able to seal around the edges. I used about 3 dessertspoons for each of my squares, but yours may take more or less depending on side.
  • Fold the top right corner over to the bottom left corner to form a triangle, nudging any stray pieces of apples back inside the turnover.
  • Using the tines of a fork, press down firmly to seal all the edges.
  • Make 2 steam holes in the top of the turnovers, using the tip of a knife.
  • Brush with a little plant-based milk, then sprinkle with white sugar.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown.
  • Remove to a cooling rack whilst you make the icing.

To make the icing

  • Sift the icing (confectioners) sugar into a small bowl and add enough vegan cream milk to achieve a pourable consistency. Start with one tablespoon and add more if needed.
  • Drizzle over your warm turnovers and serve.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
