Ingredients

for 12 pieces

Apple mixture
600 g apples, cut into approx. 1 cm cubes
40 g coconut palm sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
½  lemon, the whole juice
1 tbsp Maizena cornflour
½ dl water
Turnovers
2  sheets of pastry, rolled into rectangles
1  egg, beaten
Icing
50 g icing sugar
1 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla paste

How it's done

Apple mixture

Mix the apple, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice in a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, simmer for approx. 10 mins. until soft, stirring occasionally. Mix the cornflour with the water, stir into the apple mixture, and simmer for approx. 3 mins. while stirring. Remove the pan from the heat, leave to cool.

Turnovers

Unroll out the pastry sheets, cut each lengthwise into thirds, then cut crosswise to form 12 equal-sized rectangles. Place 12 pieces of pastry on two baking trays lined with baking paper, brush the edges with egg. Spread the apple mixture in the centre of the pieces of pastry. Place the remaining pieces of pastry on top, press the edges down firmly with a fork. Brush the apple turnovers with egg, prick each one once with a fork.

To bake

Approx. 25 mins. in an oven preheated to 180 °C (convection). Remove from the oven, slide the apple turnovers onto separate cooling racks.

Icing

Place the icing sugar, milk and vanilla paste in a small bowl, mix well, brush onto the apple turnovers and leave to cool.
