Caramel Apple Turnovers

1 box (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, dough, thawed

3 tart apples, such as Granny Smith, cored peeled and diced into small cubes 1⁄4 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

1⁄4 teaspoon salt

1 egg and 1 Tablespoon water combined and lightly beaten

Adjust oven rack to position 2. In Dacor Guide, select Turnover. Allow oven to preheat. In a medium-sized sauté pan, melt butter. Add apples, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Sauté mixture until apples are softened and caramel sauce forms. Allow this mixture to cool. Meanwhile, roll one puff pastry sheet to 1⁄8" thickness. Cut into 4" squares. Repeat with other puff pastry sheet. Add about 2 tablespoons of apples to the center of each square. Fold over puff pastry to form a triangle. Crimp edges with a fork to seal. In a small bowl, combine egg with 1-tablespoon water. Brush turnover with egg wash. Place on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with parch- ment paper and sprayed with non-stick spray. Place in oven and set timer for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

After Baking: Let cool slightly as filling will be hot. Serve warm.

Makes 8 turnovers.

Variations: Substitute 3 apples for 3 cups of any berries (blueberries, raspberries, boysenberries, etc.) and omit cinnamon. 3 cups of Peaches, apricots, or mangoes can also be substituted for 3 apples.

You may also sprinkle the top of the turnover with raw or refined sugar after brushing on the egg wash.
