Method

  • step 1

    Put the Bramley apple, sugar and cinnamon in a small pan with 1 tbsp water. Cover with a lid and simmer over a low heat for 10-15 mins until the apple breaks down and turns into a compote.

  • step 2

    Stir in the butter and the Gala apple and cook for a further 5 mins, uncovered, until the Gala apple is just soft but retaining its shape, and any excess water has evaporated to make a thick compote around the Gala chunks. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.

  • step 3

    Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unravel the puff pastry sheet out on a work surface, and cut into 4 even rectangles. Divide the apple filling to one side of each of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1cm border. Brush the border with milk and fold over the empty side of pastry over the filling and crimp together. Brush with more milk and sprinkle over the sugar. Make a small steam hole in the middle of the turnovers.

  • step 4

    Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool for 10 mins on a wire rack (the filling will be molten when it first comes out the oven) before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or serve at room temperature. Keep for 2 days in an airtight container.

Being a well established cook but very new and stressed about baking...can I ask that you add a step for flouring the work surface as once I'd filled my turnovers and brushed the edges I was unable to remove them from the work surface and everything ended up in the bin 😞

I just put them straight onto the baking sheet (on parchment) rather than moving them from surface to surface

Will they freeze?

question

Can I use pears in place of apples?

mikeseager4443230

I think it would be fine, just repeat the steps with pears as you would the apples

Lovely recipe. I'd brush with egg rather that milk to give the pastry a glossy finish. Milk makes it look duller than such a lovely thing should. The compote idea is fab for a general apple sauce but leave out the cinnamon.

question

Does it work with white caster sugar

Biddlybong

Any sugar is fine, it all dissolves the same in the end. I never buy caster and use granulated for most baking.
