Method
Thaw the puff1 pastry until pliable, dust lightly with flour, and roll out into a rectangle.
Core the apple2, cut it into small cubes, and mix with the sugar and cinnamon.
Cut the pastry into 2–3 squares and place the filling on one half of each square.
Fold the pastries into triangles or rectangles and seal the edges firmly with a fork.
Brush the tops with a thin layer of beaten egg.
Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C and bake the turnovers for 12–14 minutes, until the pastry has puffed1 and the tops are golden.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving so the filling is not too hot.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut the apple into small cubes. Large pieces take longer to soften, and the pastry in the air fryer browns in 12–14 minutes.
- Substitutions
- Brush with 1–2 tsp of milk instead of egg, the crust will be paler. Swap white sugar for the same amount of brown.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is not pinching the edges well. You will see leaked juice and sticky caramel at the bottom of the basket.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep the pastries in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes at 160 °C, a microwave will soften the dough.
- Serve with
- Serve with tea or milk as an afternoon snack, once the pastries cool for 5–10 minutes.
