Apple Turnovers INGREDIENTS
Baking & Spices
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour for dusting
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1 lb Puff pastry (2 sheets) thawed according to package instructions
- 1 egg+ 1 Tbsp water for EGG WASH
FOR THE GLAZE
- 1/2 cup Powered Sugar
- 2 tbsp Heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 400˚F. Remove puff pastry from the freezer and thaw according to instructions while making and cooling the apple filling.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and salt. Continue to simmer 3 minutes until apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

- While turnovers are still warm, stir together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream (adding to your desired consistency) and drizzle glaze over turnovers.
- ENJOY!
Notes
To reduce the changes of filling leaking out of pastries, refrigerate uncovered for 20 minutes before brushing with egg wash and baking (this step is optional).

Ingredients
Baking & Spices
- 1/4 tsp Salt & Pepper
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tbsp Parsley, dry or fresh
- 1 tbsp Basil, dry or fresh
- 12 oz Jumbo Shells
- 24 oz Jar of Marina sauce

- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Refrigerated
- 1 Egg
Instructions
- Cook jumbo shells pasta according to the package instructions until they are al dente. You want the shells to be just slightly under-cooked because they will finish cooking in the oven. Once cooked, strain, and set aside to cool down enough to be handled.
- Combine ricotta cheese, egg, herbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese, and seasoning in a mixing bowl. Mix everything well, until all ingredients are evenly incorporated throughout.
- Fill each shell with about 1.5-2 tablespoons of ricotta filling and place it in the dish.
- Sprinkle some Mozzarella cheese and oregano over each shell and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
Notes
I don’t like to place shells seam down because the filling often leaks out of the shells, so place shells in the dish seam up.
