Apple turnovers

    1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, take the puff pastry out of the freezer 20-30 minutes beforehand.
    2. Peel the apple with an appelschilmachine, remove the core and cut into small pieces. Do the same with the hazelnuts.
    3. Put this in a bowl and add a teaspoon of cinnamon, the juice of half a lemon and the raisins. Mix well.
    4. Place a small tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center of the puff pastry. Then fold the top-right corner diagonally to the bottom-left corner.
    5. Press the edges of the puff pastry firmly together and, if you like, make some fork marks along the edge.
    6. Beat the egg and brush the apple turnover with a little of the egg mixture. Repeat this.
    7. Bake the apple turnovers for about 15-20 minutes until nicely golden brown.

Apple turnovers are a true classic that you can easily make at home. The combination of crispy puff pastry, soft apple, cinnamon and raisins creates a wonderful result. Serve them warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Use an appelschilmachine to peel and core quickly and easily. That saves time and gives you evenly cut apple pieces. Make sure to press the edges of the puff pastry well so the filling doesn't leak out during baking.
