Later make 3 small slits into the middle top of the dough so the steam can escape while baking. Then brush with egg wash(egg yolk+1 teaspoon water). Next press the edges with a fork so two sides of the dough will seal. You can fill each corner of the small squares with almost one tablespoon of apple mixture and fill the other 2 squares with almost 3 tablespoons of the mixture. After cutting the dough into 4 equal pieces, keep one side as it is and cut each other 2 squares into 4.(You can use a ruler to be precise, I know my top 4 is not equal but that’s fine, this slight difference doesn’t make a problem while baking. Or you can make 2 large and 8 small pieces to have small and large apple turnovers. After you cut the dough into 4 equal pieces, you should cut each half diagonally and horizontally. Next, you can either make 4 large apple turnovers by cutting the dough diagonally and vertically from the middle, If your kitchen is too hot during the rolling, you can put the dough in the freezer for 5 minutes to avoid the butter melting. While you are rolling, try to give a square shape from the beginning as we want to make a square in the end. Next coat the work surface, the top of the dough and the rolling pin with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Next toss with nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar and cornstarch and combine well. First place chopped apples that are cut into almost ½ inch(1,25 cm) cubes in a small-medium bowl and combine with lemon juice. If the butter is cold enough, you don’t need to keep it for that long.īefore rolling the dough, prepare the apple filling.

You should keep in mind that the butter should be cold while working with the dough so you can have flaky layers in your pastry. In my quick puff pastry post, you can see my working process in detail.Īfter you prepare the dough, keep in the freezer for almost 15-30 minutes if the weather is too hot. If you have a pastry cutter, it makes cutting the butter into the flour process very easy.
