Nothing beats the taste of a warm apple turnover on a cold, snowy day. Check out this recipe for some toasty goodness.
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together apples, currants and walnuts with sugar, cinnamon and corn starch, making sure the fruit and nuts are well coated. Mix in the applesauce and vanilla.
3. Unfold the thawed pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Depending on the size of your puff pastry sheet, cut into either four 5x5- or six 4x4-inch squares.
4. Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface to a 16x11-inch rectangle. Trim the edges to 15x10 inches and cut into six 5x5-inch squares.
5. Divide the apple mixture among the squares, leaving a 1-inch border. If you are using an already prepared puff pastry sheet, dot the mixture in each pastry with a little butter.
6. In a small bowl mix the beaten egg with a teaspoon of milk. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg mixture on the border of the pastry.
7. Fold each pastry into a triangle, enclosing the filling, and crimp edges with a fork. Brush the tops of the pastries with more of the egg wash. Cut two or three small steam vents in the top of each turnover.
8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
9. Cool before serving.
