Certainly! Making Air Fryer Apple Turnovers with puff pastry is a quick and delicious treat. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Air Fryer Apple Turnovers with Puff Pastry
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for thickening)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples are tender, and the mixture is slightly thickened. Stir in the flour to thicken the filling. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Roll Out the Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a square. Cut the square into four smaller squares.
- Fill and Fold:
- Place a spoonful of the cooled apple filling in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the pastry diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges to seal.
- Create Turnovers:
- Use a fork to crimp the edges of the turnovers, ensuring they are sealed.
- Brush with Egg Wash:
- Brush the top of each turnover with beaten egg. This gives them a golden color when cooked.
- Air Fry:
- Place the turnovers in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Dust (Optional):
- Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before serving. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy:
- Serve your Air Fryer Apple Turnovers warm and enjoy the flaky goodness!
These Air Fryer Apple Turnovers are a delightful treat, and the air fryer helps achieve that perfect crispy texture on the puff pastry. Feel free to get creative with the filling or add a drizzle of caramel for an extra touch.
