Roll both puff pastry sheets into two larger squares.Use your gingerbread cookie cutter to cut both the base and the top of your Voodoo Dolls. Re-roll the scraps and repeat until you use all your dough. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until the dough is cold.
2 Puff pastry sheets
Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Place the base directly onto your prepared bake sheet. Spread the apple butter and sprinkle the cinnamon on top.
2.47 oz apple butter, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Arrange the top dough over, seal it with a fork all around. Reserve in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. IMPORTANT:Do not skip that step as this is how you will get a fluffy puff pastry when baked.
BAKE!
Preheat oven on 400℉/200℃.
Take your tray out of the refrigerator. Whisk the egg and brush it on top of your turnovers. Bake for 15 minutes at 400F/200C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your pastry from 12 minutes).
1 egg
Once your Voodoo Dolls Apple Butter Turnovers are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 30 minutes. NOTE:Out of the oven they will register a temperature over 200℉/95℃. It's very hot! The temperature needs to drop down to at least 90℉/32℃.
VANILLA ICING PREPARATION
When the Voodoo Dolls Turnovers have completely cooled down, prepare the Vanilla Icing.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla bean paste using your Mini Whisk. Split the icing in two: Add a red food colorant for the heart and a black food colorant for the eyes and mouth. Drizzle it over your bakes with a Spatula or using a Pastry bag. Decorate to your liking! "BONE" Appétit & Happy HALLOWEEN!
