Apple Turnovers

Tonight's snack is apple turnovers!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/4 pounds tart apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1/3 cup of raisins
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 package (17.3 ounces, 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
1 egg beaten for egg wash

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

orange juice in a bowl. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and then cut them in 3/4-inch dice. Immediately toss the apples with the zest and juice to prevent them from turning brown. Add the raisins, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cornstarch.  Place the ingredients in a saucepan.  Heat until boiling.  Remove from heat.

Flour a board and lightly roll each sheet of puff pastry to a 12 by 12-inch square. Cut each sheet into 4 smaller squares and keep chilled until ready to use.

Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and neatly place about 1/3 cup of the apple mixture on half of the square. Fold the pastry diagonally over the apple mixture and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, make 2 small slits, and bake for 20 minutes, until browned and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
