Enjoy a cozy taste of Stars Hollow with these delightful Gilmore Girls Apple Turnovers. Filled with warm, spiced apples and enveloped in flaky puff pastry, these turnovers capture the essence of comfort and nostalgia.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 turnovers 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until well coated.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add the apple mixture, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  3. Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Unfold one sheet of puff pastry, cut into 4 squares, and fill each with a spoonful of cooled apple filling. Fold and crimp edges to seal.
  4. Brush tops with beaten egg, sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired, and bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Keep the puff pastry cold for optimal puffing.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent bursting during baking.
  • Ensure edges are sealed well using a fork.
  • A parchment-lined baking sheet aids in cleanup and prevents sticking.
