How To Make Spiced Rum Apple Turnover Recipe

1. Pull out your skillet, add butter and let it melt. Once melted, toss in the chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat until apples are tender.

3. Preheat your oven to 375��F (190��C). Meanwhile, lay out your puff pastry squares and spoon the chilled apple mixture into the center of each square.
4. Fold the pastry square from one corner to the opposite, forming a triangle. Seal the sides using a fork. Give each turnover an egg wash for that shiny golden-brown finish.
5. Lay them on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes. That’s it, folks! Let it cool down a bit, and the much-awaited Spiced Rum Apple Turnover is ready for devouring!
