Turnovers In The Air Fryer: Quick, Easy, Delicious!

Air fryers are a versatile kitchen appliance that can cook a variety of foods, including turnovers. Turnovers are a classic handheld pastry that can be made with either a savoury or sweet filling. The puff pastry dough is folded over the filling, creating a triangle shape, and then baked until golden and crispy. Air fryer turnovers are not only easy to make but also tasty and quick, making them a perfect dessert or snack option.

Air fryer apple turnovers

Apple turnovers are a delicious dessert that can be made in an air fryer. The air fryer's small size makes it more energy-efficient than a big oven, and it is also faster, easier, and cheaper. The air-fried apple turnovers are golden-brown on the outside and tender and sweet on the inside.

To make apple turnovers in an air fryer, first prepare the apple filling by peeling and dicing apples and mixing them with brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt butter in a large skillet and add the apples, cooking over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the apples are softened. Place the apples in a bowl and let them cool.

Next, prepare the puff pastry by lightly flouring a clean surface and placing the pastry over the flour. Dust the top with more flour and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a rectangle. Place the cooled apple filling in the centre of the pastry and fold the edges over to enclose the filling, forming a turnover shape.

Brush the tops of the turnovers with egg for a golden and shiny finish, then place two turnovers in the air fryer basket and cook at 180C/350F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. If your air fryer doesn't have a non-stick coating, lightly spray the basket before adding the turnovers. Repeat with any remaining turnovers.

You can also make apple turnovers with pre-made frozen puff pastry and frozen apple filling. Simply assemble the turnovers according to the package instructions and air-fry from frozen at 360F for about 14 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.

Apple turnovers can be served warm or at room temperature, and they can be drizzled with icing or caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness. They can also be made ahead of time and frozen, then baked in the air fryer whenever you're ready to enjoy them.

Air fryer turnovers with puff pastry

Air fryers are perfect for cooking apple turnovers with puff pastry. They are a quick and easy dessert to make, and you can use store-bought puff pastry to make the process even faster.

To make apple turnovers, start by stewing cinnamon apples. You can also add butter, brown sugar, and a couple of tablespoons of water to your apples while cooking. Once the apples are soft, allow them to cool slightly.

Next, prepare your puff pastry. You will need to thaw the puff pastry until it is soft but still cold. Then, cut the pastry sheet into four squares. Brush the edges of each square with egg. If you are allergic to eggs, you can use a light spritz of oil spray instead.

After brushing the pastry with egg, spoon the apples into the centre of each square. Fold the pastry over diagonally and seal the edges with a fork. You can also make one or two incisions in the pastry to allow steam to escape while cooking.

Brush the tops of the turnovers with egg, then place two turnovers in the air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C or 350°F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. If your air fryer does not have a non-stick basket, spray the bottom of the basket with oil before adding the turnovers. Repeat this process for any remaining turnovers.

You can serve the apple turnovers as-is, or with thickened cream. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also freeze uncooked turnovers to bake later.

Air fryer turnovers with cinnamon apples

Air Fryer Apple Turnovers are a quick and easy dessert that can be made in an air fryer. The recipe uses apples, cinnamon, and puff pastry to create a delicious treat that is soft and flaky on the inside, with a crispy, golden-brown exterior.

To make the turnovers, start by preparing the cinnamon apples. You can follow a recipe for stewed cinnamon apples or simply sauté diced apples with butter, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract until tender. Allow the cinnamon apples to cool slightly before assembling the turnovers.

Next, prepare the puff pastry. It is recommended to use pre-cut, store-bought puff pastry to reduce the workload and freezer space required. Thaw the puff pastry until it is soft but still cold. Cut the pastry into squares, and brush the edges with egg. You can also use milk or butter for a vegetarian or vegan option, respectively.

Spoon the cinnamon apples into the centre of each puff pastry square. Fold the pastry over from corner to corner to create a triangle shape, and seal the edges with a fork. Brush the tops of the turnovers with egg for a golden, shiny finish.

Place two turnovers in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer. If your air fryer is not non-stick, lightly spray the basket before adding the turnovers. Set the temperature to 180°C/350°F and cook for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. If using a frozen turnover, you may need to increase the cooking time to 14 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 7 minutes.

Air Fryer Apple Turnovers are best served warm, either on their own or with thickened cream. They can be enjoyed by people of all ages and are a perfect treat during the fall season.

Air fryer turnovers with store-bought fillings

Air fryers are perfect for cooking turnovers with store-bought fillings. You can use a variety of fillings, such as apple, cherry, or blueberry, and the turnovers will turn out golden-brown and crispy. Here is a step-by-step guide to making air fryer turnovers with store-bought fillings:

Ingredients:

• Store-bought puff pastry
• Store-bought filling (apple), cherry, or blueberry
• Egg
• Butter
• Flour
• Milk
• Vanilla extract
• Icing (optional)

Instructions:

• Start by thawing the puff pastry. You can do this by leaving it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or at room temperature for no more than 40 minutes.
• Once the pastry is thawed, lay it on a flat surface and cut it into squares. The number of squares you cut will depend on the size of your pastry and the amount of filling you want to use.
• Spoon your chosen filling into the middle of each square. Be careful not to overfill the pastry.
• Fold the dough over diagonally to create a triangle and seal the edges with a fork.
• Make a few small slits in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during cooking.
• Brush the turnovers with an egg wash (beaten egg and water) to give them a golden colour. You can skip this step if you prefer, or use milk or butter instead of egg.
• Place the turnovers in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
• Set the air fryer to 350°F-360°F and cook the turnovers for 14-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. If your turnovers are browning unevenly, you can flip them halfway through cooking.
• Once cooked, remove the turnovers from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
• Optionally, you can make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, and drizzling it over the turnovers before serving.

Your air fryer turnovers with store-bought fillings are now ready to be enjoyed!

Air fryer turnovers with homemade fillings

Air fryers are perfect for cooking homemade apple turnovers, which are a delicious dessert that can be made and served quickly. The turnovers are soft and warming inside and crispy and flaky on the outside. You can also make them with other fruits like pineapples, peaches, or cherries.

To make the apple turnovers, first, make the filling by peeling and dicing apples and placing them in a bowl. Then, add brown sugar and cinnamon to the apples and mix. Next, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until the apples are softened.

Now, it's time to assemble the turnovers. Start by thawing the puff pastry until it's soft but still cold. Cut the puff pastry into squares, and then add a spoonful of apple filling to the middle of each square. Fold the pastry over the filling into a triangle and seal the edges by pressing them with your fingers or using a fork.

Before placing the turnovers in the air fryer, brush the tops with beaten egg to make them more golden and shiny. You can skip the egg wash, but they may not be as golden. Place two turnovers in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded, and cook at 350°F (180°C) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. If your air fryer is not non-stick, you may want to lightly spray the basket before adding the turnovers.
