Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry approximately 17 ounces
- 1 egg
Apple Filling
- 3 medium apples peeled, cored, and cut ¼-inch cubes
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Remove puff pastry from the freezer to thaw.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine apples with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Add to the apple mixture.
- Cover and cook stirring occasionally until softened, about 4 minutes or until very slightly softened and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat and cool.
- Lightly dust the work surface with flour. Gently roll the puff pastry into a 14-inch square. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut it into 4 squares.
- Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush the edges of the 4 pieces with the egg wash.
- Divide the cooled apple mixture over the pastry. Fold each turnover diagonally and press the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with remaining egg wash and with a knife, cut a couple of small slits in each turnover. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes
- Optional Glaze: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Drizzle over turnovers.
- Apples: Use any variety, however the cooking time may need to be adjusted slightly. Ensure the apples are cooked just to tender so they don't get mushy.

- Storage: Keep leftover turnovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze chilled turnovers in a zippered bag for up to 4 weeks.
- Reheating: Reheating turnovers in the air fryer (or oven) at a low temperature for a few minutes will restore the crispy flakiness on the outside. A microwave will make the pastry soft.
