Ingredients
- 1 package brie sliced
- 4 apples diced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 pastry dough
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 tbsp melted butter grass-fed
Instructions
- Remove frozen pastry dough from freezer and let sit for at least 30 minutes before use.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Dice apples and place in a medium sized bowl. Add all spices, and lemon juice, to the bowl and mix well.
- Pour filling into a small pot and add butter. Let simmer on low for 10-15 minutes so all ingredients can intermingle.
- Gently unfold pastry dough and roll out using a rolling pin. Make sure to evenly roll out the dough and close all pastry perforations by pinching the dough together before rolling more. Cut dough into 6 even squares.
- Add apple filling to each square and top with a brie slice. To close, wet the bottom edges of the pastry square. Fold top side over either creating a square or a triangle (whichever way you'd prefer it look). Close edges with a fork and place on baking sheet (if pastry is too warm, place in the freezer for 10 minutes before baking).
- Brush each turnover with whisked egg and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry browns.
Notes
It is advisable to flour your cutting board or countertop while rolling out the pastry dough to prevent sticking! Additionally, brie is best kept refrigerated up until use as the warmer it gets, the more sticky and difficult it is to cut. This will also prevent it from over melting in the oven.
