3. Create the Cream Filling: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This creamy filling will add a luxurious touch to your apple turnovers.
4. Assemble the Turnovers: Roll out the pastry dough and cut it into squares. Place a spoonful of the apple filling and a dollop of cream filling in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over the fillings to create triangular turnovers.
5. Bake to Perfection: Brush the turnovers with an egg wash for a golden finish and bake them until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before serving.
