Apple Pear Turnovers
These are a wonderful breakfast treat from williams-sonoma, and pretty easy too. Please don't be intimidated by the lengthy directions. When i make these i don't usually re-roll out my puff pastry sheet and instead just make four smaller turnovers. The filling on these also makes a really delicious pie.
Steps
Before you start position 2 oven racks evenly in the oven near the center so there is space in between them.
Preheat the oven to 400f grease 2 baking sheets with butter.
To make the filling peel , core and cut into small chunks the apple and pear.
Put the chunks into a bowl.
Add the brown sugar , flour , vanilla , cinnamon , nutmeg and raisins and stir together.
Sprinkle a work surface with some flour.
Unfold 1 of the thawed puff pastry sheets on top of the flour.
Keep the other sheet wrapped in the refrigerator.
Sprinkle some flour on the pastry.
Using a rolling pin , and beginning at the center of the pastry , roll out to the far side.
Then roll from the center toward you.
After every few rolls , give the pastry a quarter turn and sprinkle the top and bottom of the pastry with more of the flour so the pastry does not stick.
Keep rolling and sprinkling until the pastry is a 12 1 / 2-inch square.
Using a ruler and a pizza wheel or table knife , trim the edges to make a 1.
