DESSERT

Caramelized Apple Turnovers

A delicious and elegant dessert that is so easy to make.

Makes 8 turnovers

tablespoons (25 ml) unsalted butter

2

medium apples, peeled, cored, halved, and thinly sliced

3

tablespoons (45 ml) granulated sugar

½

teaspoon (2 ml) ground cinnamon

1

pound (454 g) or 2 sheets packaged puff pastry, thawed

melted butter for brushing

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Turn

heat down to medium-low and cook apples, stirring occasionally, until soft and slightly

caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and reserve.

On a floured work surface, roll each sheet of pastry into a large square. Cut each sheet of

rolled pastry so that there are four 5 x 10-inch (12.5 x 25 cm) rectangles (two rectangles per

pastry sheet). Place approximately ½ cup (125 ml) of apple on the bottom half of each pastry

rectangle. Fold the top part of the pastry down to cover the apples, and close the turnovers

by pressing fork tines around the pastry edge to create a sealed 5 x 5-inch (12.5 x 12.5 cm)

pocket. Brush the tops of each pocket with melted butter.

Preheat the Griddler™ overstuffed sandwich maker to high. When green indicator lights,

place two apple turnovers into preheated sandwich plates. Close unit and bake for about 8

to 10 minutes, until pastry is evenly golden. Bake the remaining two turnovers.

Cut into individual turnovers along the perforated edge. Top turnovers with vanilla ice cream

and/or fresh whipped cream.
