Caramel Apple Turnover Recipe With Puff Pastry
A perfect blend of apples, cinnamon and brown sugar wrapped up in a flaky puff pastry make this caramel apple turnover recipe totally irresistible.
This caramel apple turnover recipe with puff pastry has a filling that reminds me of Fall and apple pie. It’s my quick, cheat way of making a perfect Fall dessert with almost no effort at all!
The apple filling is ready in minutes and the puff pastry dough is store-bought, so yes, it’s super easy!
I also love a little caramel drizzle on these turnovers to give it a caramel apple spin. I use tart green apples to counter the sweetness of the caramel, but the type of apples you use for the filling are up to you!

Caramel Apple Turnover Recipe With Puff Pastry
What do I need to make this apple turnover recipe?
To make this recipe, you will need:
- Apples – I use green apples because I like to balance the tartness of the apples with the sweetness of the caramel sauce, but feel free to use the type of apple you like.
- Brown sugar – The molasses in the brown sugar gives the filling a deeper flavor.
- Flour – Helps thicken the sauce for the filling.
- Vanilla – Adds a deeper flavor note.
- Cinnamon – Adds the essential cinnamon touch to the filling.
- Caramel – I use a high-quality store-bought caramel sauce that saves me time and effort from making my own :p
- Egg yolk – This is used to make the egg wash to give the turnover its golden color.
How do I make this caramel apple turnover?
Firstly, thaw out the puff pastry (you will only need one sheet to make 4 turnovers). This can be done overnight in the refrigerator or it can be left on the counter a few hours before you are ready to use it.
Note: Puff pastry dough is easiest to use when it is still somewhat cold. It is harder to handle if it gets too warm.
Next, make the filling. Wash, peel and chop the apples in pieces that are about half an inch wide.
In a medium-sized saucepan on medium heat, add the apples, flour, vanilla, cinnamon and brown sugar.
Stir frequently for 5 minutes until all of the ingredients melt and meld together.
Then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-8 minutes to soften the apples.
Remove from heat and cool for 20 minutes.
Unroll the pastry dough and use one sheet. Cut it into four equal squares.
Add equal parts of the apple filling to the center of each pastry dough.
Fold the pastry dough over into a triangle shape.
Seal the edges by pressing the edges down with a fork.
Line a baking pan with parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray and place the turnovers on the prepared baking pan.
Next, make an egg wash by mixing an egg yolk with a teaspoon of water and spread it on top of each turnover with a brush. This will give the turnovers their golden color after it’s baked.
Bake the turnovers on the middle rack at 400°F for about 20 minutes or until they puff up and turn golden brown.
Let the turnovers cool for 5 minutes before drizzling caramel on them.
Eat them warm on their own or with a side of vanilla ice cream…yum!
