Apple foldovers

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Recipe basic puff pastry
1 Egg yolk
1 teaspoon Water
6 cups Peeled sliced apples
¾ cup Firmly packed brown sugar
¾ cup Chopped pecans
3 tablespoons Butter or margarine; melted
1½ tablespoon Lemon juice
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
Powdered sugar

Directions

Roll pastry into a 17- x 13-inch rectangle. Cut pastry into 4-inch squares; place squares on ungreased baking sheets.

Combine egg yolk and water; brush edges of pastry with yolk mixture.

Fold each square of pastry into a triangle; press edges of foldovers together with a fork. Bake at 425°F for 13 to 15 minutes or until foldovers are puffed and golden brown. Let foldovers cool on a wire rack.

Combine apples, brown sugar, pecans, butter, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan, stirring until cornstarch dissolves; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until apples are tender.

Slice foldovers in half horizontally, not cutting completely through long side of pastry.

Spoon hot filling into foldovers; sprinkle tops with powdered sugar.

Yield: 1 dozen.

Note: One (17¼-ounce) package frozen puff pastry may be substituted for Basic Puff Pastry.
