They shatter when you bite in! Puff pastry flakes go all over the counter, and inside the filling is still warm, brown-sugar sweet, with the cinnamon coming up at you. I ate two standing over the pan before they had finished cooling. Twelve in one batch, two sheets of store-bought pastry, and the longest part is waiting on the apples to cool. Make them on a Sunday afternoon: your house will smell like apple pie without you having made a pie!<\/p>\n
Everybody cooks the apples until they go soft. I stop at five or six minutes. I used a mix of McIntosh, Empire and Cortland, exactly the kind of apples that fall apart if you look at them too long. They held. Which makes sense once you think about it: they still have 25 minutes in the oven ahead of them. Cook them all the way through in the pan and you end up with applesauce wrapped in pastry.<\/p>\n
Warm filling melts the butter in the puff pastry before it ever reaches the oven. The layers fuse together, nothing lifts, and your turnover comes out flat. So you wait. While you do, you pull out your first sheet of pastry and leave the second one cold until the last possible second. It sounds like a small thing. It is the whole difference between a turnover that puffs and one that lies there on the pan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
