How to Make Apple Pear Turnovers
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Position oven racks to evenly distribute heat.
- Grease two baking sheets with butter.
- Peel, core, and chop 1 medium apple (about 1 cup) and 1 medium pear (about 1 cup) into small chunks.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples and pears with 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup raisins.
- Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface.
- Unfold one sheet of thawed puff pastry onto the floured surface. Keep the second sheet refrigerated.
- Lightly dust the pastry with flour.
- Roll out the pastry to a 12 1/2-inch square. (No need to re-roll if using a larger sheet and making fewer turnovers).
- Trim the edges to create a 12-inch square. Discard scraps.
- Cut the square into four equal 6-inch squares.
- Spoon 1/3 cup of the filling onto the center of each square.
- Spread the filling slightly toward two opposite corners.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg with a fork.
- Brush the beaten egg along two edges of each pastry square.
- Fold one half of each square over the filling to form a triangle. Press edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Place turnovers 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Repeat steps 7-16 with the remaining puff pastry sheet and filling.
- Brush the tops of all turnovers with the remaining beaten egg.
- Sprinkle with granulated sugar (optional).
- Bake one sheet on the upper rack and one on the lower rack for 10 minutes.
- Swap the positions of the baking sheets and continue baking until turnovers are puffed and golden brown, about 15 more minutes.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
