Yes yes I know it’s June and it’s not apple season here yet, but we make <a href="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/moms_baked_apple_slices/">cooked apples</a>
every year and freeze them, we grow our own walnuts and thyme, and this
was just plain good, so there. Remarkably it is the middle of June in
Sacramento and we haven’t had a day over 90 degrees in weeks, in fact,
it’s barely been getting up to the 80s. So, the oven is still in use.<br />
Ever have one ingredient that you have left over from something so
you devise an entire recipe around it? I had some gorgonzola cheese
begging to be eaten, some puff pastry in the freezer, and my mother’s
book club potluck event at our house coming up. Apples and walnuts we
always have on hand.<br />
<br />
Apples, walnuts, gorgonzola, thyme, and honey make up the filling of
these mini-turnovers and let me tell you, this is a great combination.
Put the filling on a pizza, keep the apples fresh and make a gorgonzola
version of <a href="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/waldorf_salad/">Waldorf salad</a>,
or place it on a flour tortilla and roll it up and eat it as a wrap,
whatever you do these ingredients belong together. Big hit at the book
club too, nary a turnover was left.</div>

<br />
<b>1</b> Place chopped apples in a bowl, microwave on high heat for 5
minutes until apples are cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.
Drain excess moisture. Once cooled, chop further so that the pieces are
between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch square. (Note you can skip this step if
you want; the main purpose is to get the apples to release some of their
moisture before cooking into the pastry.)<br />

<br />
<b>2</b> Combine apples, walnuts, gorgonzola, thyme and honey in a small bowl.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>3</b> Preheat oven to 400°F. Working with one puff pastry sheet at
a time (leave the second one in the refrigerator until using it) roll
out the pastry to a size of 9-inches by 12-inches. Cut into 12 3x3-inch
squares (a pizza slicer works great for this). Paint 1/2-inch of border
around each square with beaten egg (this will help the pastry seal).
Place a heaping teaspoon of the apple walnut mixture in the center of
the squares. Fold over the squares into a triangle shape, stretching the
dough if necessary to cover the filling. Use the tines of a fork to
crimp the edges. Place triangles on a silpat or parchment paper lined
baking sheet, with space between the triangles. Chill for 5 minutes in
the refrigerator before baking, or chill while you prepare the second
puff pastry sheet.<br />
<br />
<b>4</b> Whisk in a half teaspoon of water into the remaining beaten
egg. Use a pastry brush to paint on the tops of the pastry triangles for
a nice glaze. Place in oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until nicely
puffed up and lightly browned. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes
before serving.<br />
Serve either warm or at room temperature. Can be made several hours in advance.</div>
