Air fryer apple turnovers

This classic pastry is made to fit in your hand and filled with beautifully caramelised cooked apple.

Our air fryer apple turnovers are incredibly crisp, super tasty and easy to make. A wonderfully simple dessert or sweet treat that's packed full of winter warming spices and soft, caramelised apple wrapped in a buttery, puff pastry case. Serve with a dollop of caramel sauce or with a helping of custard.

What you'll need...

  • 3 granny smith apples
  • 1 tbsp demerara sugar, plus extra to sprinkle
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 320g sheet puff pastry
  • 1 medium free-range egg, beaten
  • Caramel sauce to serve, optional

Method

  1. Core and chop 2 of the apples into 1cm chunks and put in a saucepan with the sugar, cinnamon and a splash of water. Cover and cook over a medium heat for about 15 minutes, then crush lightly with a wooden spoon.

  2. Core and chop the remaining apple into small cubes (around 5mm) and stir them into the cooked apple mixture along with the butter. Cook for 5 minutes, uncovered and stirring regularly. Leave to cool.

  3. Unroll the pastry, cut it in half lengthways and then widthways to create 4 rectangles. Spoon a quarter of the apple mixture onto the bottom half of each rectangle, leaving a 1cm border.

  1. Brush the exposed pastry edges with the beaten egg, then fold over the pastry to encase the filling. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal together, brush the tops with more egg and sprinkle with more sugar.

  2. Turn the air fryer to 200°C. Cook the turnovers directly in the basket for 10 minutes (work in batches if all 4 don’t fit in a single layer). Once the top is golden, flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve with caramel sauce (if you like).
