Finished with a light glaze, this recipe is simple to prepare and works well for breakfast, dessert, or entertaining, offering a balanced mix of sweetness and texture in every bite.
Flaky puff pastry filled with warm spiced apples and blackberries
Ingredients
- 4 Autumn Glory apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon water
Directions
- Defrost the pastry as per the package instructions and preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Peel the apples, cut them into ½-inch pieces, pour them into a bowl, and add the lemon juice, stirring to ensure each piece is covered.
- Roll out the pastry into a large rectangle, then slice it horizontally into 4-inch strips.
- Drain the lemon juice from the apples before adding the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and blackberries, stirring gently until well blended.
- Add two large spoonfuls of the apple-blackberry mix at one end of the strip (be sure to leave a gap at the edge to seal with butter shortly).
- Using a pastry brush, brush the edges of the strip with melted butter, then fold the pastry over and seal the edges with a fork. Gently poke two holes in the top of the turnovers with a sharp knife.
- Brush the top of the turnover with melted butter before sprinkling with sugar.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, and mix the water and powdered sugar.
- Allow to cool before drizzling with icing.
