How to Make Golden Delicious Apple Cheddar Turnovers Dried Cranberries

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 3 medium Golden Delicious apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup dried cranberries, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Toss gently to combine.
  2. Cover the bowl and chill the filling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Position one rack in the upper third and one rack in the lower third of your oven. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry (14.1 oz box) to an 11-inch square.
  6. Using a 5- to 5 1/2-inch plate or bowl as a template, cut out four rounds from the pastry. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
  7. Transfer the pastry rounds to the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
  8. Spoon an equal amount of the chilled filling onto one half of each pastry round.
  9. Lightly brush the edges of the pastry with 1 egg, beaten.
  10. Fold the plain pastry half over the filling, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Crimp the edges with a fork to create a tight seal.
  11. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crusts are puffed and golden brown, and the juices are bubbling through any slits in the crust.
  13. Carefully remove the turnovers from the baking sheets using a metal spatula and transfer them to wire racks to cool slightly.
  14. Serve warm or at room temperature.
