Learn how to make delicious Caramel Apple Turnovers. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Let’s dive into what you’ll need to create these irresistible turnovers. I’ve included some substitution suggestions to make this recipe flexible based on what you have on hand.

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness

If you don’t have puff pastry, you can substitute with pie crust for a slightly different texture. For a vegan option, use a plant-based puff pastry and replace the egg wash with a mixture of maple syrup and almond milk.

Instructions

Creating these turnovers is a breeze, and the process is just as enjoyable as the result. Here’s how you can make them:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the apples are well-coated.
  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture into the center of each square, then drizzle with a teaspoon of caramel sauce.
  5. Fold each square into a triangle, sealing the edges with a fork. Make sure to cut a small slit on top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.
  7. Place turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and the pastry is puffed.
  8. Allow them to cool slightly before serving, though if you’re like me, you’ll be tempted to sneak one while it’s still warm!

A little tip: if you find the caramel oozing out while baking, simply scoop it with a spoon and drizzle it back over the turnovers. Waste not, want not!
