There is absolutely nothing in the morning than a hot cup of coffee and a light pastry. Today, I made such easy Air Fryer Apple Turnovers.
Breakfast will not get easier than this. Making a homemade (semi) apple turnover, and you only need a few ingredients.
What is A Turnover?
We have all had the frozen Pepperidge Farm Cherry or Apple Turnover, which are fabulous. But turnovers can actually be anything that is sweet or savory wrapped up in a puff pastry dough. They were a great way in the olden days to make a portable meal.
Ingredients Used, in Air Fryer Apple Turnovers,
Puff Pastry:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup apple pie filling
- olive oil spray
- sparkling sugar
Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons of milk
Today’s Baking Project, Easy Homemade Apple Turnovers.
Start by laying out the thawed puff pastry on a flat surface. Cut the sheet into 4 squares.
In the center of the puff pastry, add about 2 tablespoons of the pie filling.
Fold the pastry over, making a triangle. Use your fingers o press the dough together, if you are having a hard time getting the pastry closed, dip your ginger into water and brush it along the edges.
Spray the top with olive oil and then sprinkle some sparkling sugar on top.
Set them in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray (both sprayed with olive oil, to prevent sticking)
Set in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F (air fryer setting) flip and air fry for another 3-5 minutes, until fully cooked.
Drizzle some icing on top. Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Some Common Questions, Regarding This Recipe,
Can You Freeze Air Fryer Apple Turnovers?
Yes, after you assemble the turnovers, simply add them to a baking sheet, pop the baking sheet into the freezer until they are frozen. Then take them off the baking sheet, and place them in a Ziploc bag. Then when you are ready to eat them, simply either bake the apple turnovers or air fry them.
How To Keep Air Fryer Apple Turnovers From Leaking.
This is a really common problem. Since you are folding the edges yourself, you will eventually run into the turnover that leaks. The only suggestion I can make is to tightly crimp the edges together with your fingers or a fork.
How To Thaw Puff Pastry.
There are two ways to thaw puff pastry. I usually take it out the night before I want to use it, and let it defrost in the refrigerator. The other way if you are in a rush is to leave it on the counter, and give it about 30 minutes.
Why Do I Spray the Pastry with Olive Oil?
The olive oil helps crips up the dough. You could also use a an egg wash.
