Apple turnovers

Ingredients:

  • 500g/1lb 2oz puff pastry
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • caster sugar, to dust
  • For the filling
  • 200g/7oz stewed apple
  • 25g/1oz caster sugar
  • 50g/2oz raisins, chopped
  • 25g/1oz walnuts, chopped








• Preheat the oven to 210°C/425°F/Gas mark 7. Lightly grease a baking tray.

• Roll the pastry on a lightly floured work surface to a rectangle about 45 x 35cm/18 x 14in. Cut out 12 rounds measuring 10cm/4in.

• To make the apple filling, mix together the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

• Divide the filling among the pastry rounds, then brush the edges with water. Fold the pastry in half to make a half-moon, and pinch the edges firmly together to seal. Brush the tops with egg white, and dust with caster sugar. Make 2 small slits in the top of each turnover. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5 and bake for a further 10 minutes. Serve warm.
