How cute are these Halloween apple turnover mummies? Yes, we love making Halloween crafts for kids - but I also love making silly Halloween snacks too. These silly apple turnover mummies are so much fun!
I mean really? They are simple to make. You only need a few ingredients...which you probably already have in your kitchen right now. Bake up a batch and send them off to the kid's school Halloween party or keep them around for a little pre-Halloween snacking.
Halloween Apple Turnover Mummies
3 apples (about 3-4 cups) sliced
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 package, ready-made puff pastry
¼ cup flour for dusting
1 egg
¼ teaspoon granulated sugar
sugar eyes
1. Peel and slice the apples. Cut into slices and then halve the slices. You don't want the apples to poke a hole in the pastry.
2. Add the apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup to a small pot. Simmer over medium heat, until apples soften. Approximately 5-10 minutes.
3. Once apples have softened, remove from heat and set aside.
4. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Make a large rectangle - about 24" x 12".
5. Use a sharp knife to cut 6 squares of pastry.
6. Spoon 1-2 tablespoon of apples into the center of each square - right down the middle.
7. Use a sharp knife to slice strips into the pastry on either side of the apple filling. These will be the mummy's shroud.
8. Fold pastry strips into the center, over top of the apple filling. To make your mummy look authentic, be sure to wrap the strips messily. They need to keep the filling in, but don't have to look all neat and tidy...great job for the kids.
9. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a brush, or your fingers, to lightly brush egg wash on the wrapped mummies.
10. Lightly dust mummies with sugar.
11. Place apple turnovers mummies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in a 375°F oven for 10-15 minutes. Until the bottom of the turnovers are golden brown.
12. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack.
13. Pick the perfect spot to pop in the sugar eyeballs and enjoy!
