Preparation

Step 1

Mix the water (or apple juice), lemon juice, and cornstarch together in a small bowl until cornstarch is fully incorporated (no clumps). Add this mixture to the rest of the ingredients and mix all together. Heat a skillet on medium heat, and cook the apples for about 20-25 minutes or until the apples are as soft as you’d like them.

Allow the apple preserves to cool to room temperature.

Cut the puff pastry into 9 3 inch squares. Place a tablespoon of apple preserve onto each puff pastry square and fold over forming a triangle. Use a fork to crimp the edges so that the pastry stays closed. Cut 2 or 3 slits over the top of of each pastry. Assemble the turnovers evenly on a sheet pan and bake for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Let them cool and enjoy!
