These Air Fryer Apple Turnovers are the quick and easy treat you’ve been waiting for! Well it’s at the very least the treat I’ve been waiting for. Anytime I’m in a bakery I can never seem to go past a classic apple turnover filled with cream. I was thrilled when I realised how easily I can make them at home and I must admit I almost always have the ingredients on hand. It’s perhaps a little too easy to fulfil my sugar cravings. Stewed cinnamon apples are baked inside flaky puff pastry. You can serve them hot or cold, and with or without cream. And full warning here - you won’t be able to stop at just one! New to air frying?

INGREDIENTS
I make the turnovers using my classic Stewed Cinnamon Apples as a base, which are incredibly quick and easy to prepare. Here’s what you’ll need to make them (full measurements listed in the printable recipe card below)…

FOR THE TURNOVERS
Puff PastryEggThickened Cream (Optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Cook Stewed Cinnamon Apples following the instructions in this post. Allow to cool slightly. Remove puff pastry sheet from the freezer and allow to thaw partially. Then cut the sheet into 4 squares and brush the edges of each square with the egg. Spoon apples into the centre of each puff pastry square, then fold the pastry over from corner to corner into a triangle shape and seal the edges together with a fork. Brush the tops of each turnover with the egg, then place two turnovers in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes on 180C / 350F or until golden brown. Repeat to cook the remaining turnovers. Serve as is, or with thickened cream.
Top Tips
There’s no need to preheat the air fryer for these apple turnovers.If your air fryer isn’t non-stick I’d suggest lightly spraying the bottom of your basket before adding the turnovers.You can skip the egg wash but it does make the turnovers more golden and shiny.If you have a single basket air fryer you’ll need to cook these turnovers in two batches. If you have trays or a trivet attachment, cook all at once.To cook in the oven simply put the turnovers on a lined baking tray in a preheated oven (180C / 350F) for 15-20 minutes until golden.You can freeze uncooked apple turnovers to bake later. This is especially handy if you have a smaller air fryer, as a batch will make you 4 turnovers, and most smaller air fryers will only bake 2 at a time. Cook 2 now, freeze 2 for later!Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days.
