Caramel Apple Turnovers Recipe

Directions

• 1. Step 1Combine apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water in a bowl. 
  2. Step 2Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. On a floured work surface, roll puff pastry dough into a 14- by 14-inch square. Cut into 9 squares. Spoon apple filling (about 1 heaping tablespoon) in the center of each square. Brush edges with egg wash. Fold squares over filling to form triangles, then press edges together with the tines of a fork; make small slits in the top of each with a sharp knife. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and chill 15 minutes. 
  3. Step 3Bake 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350°F. Bake until turnovers are puffed and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. 
  4. Step 4Combine granulated sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until an instant-read or candy thermometer reaches 350°F (do not stir, but gently swirl pan if edges become dark) and mixture turns a golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully stir in butter and cream (mixture will bubble up). Drizzle over turnovers.
