Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 cups apples peeled and diced (about 3 large apples)
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
- In a skillet heat apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and cornstarch until boiling, stirring frequently. Simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Let it cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll puff pastry into a 12 inch by 12 inch square. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide into 4 equal squares.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of apple mixture into the corner of each square of pastry. Fold the pastry diagonally over the apple filling and seal by using a fork to press the edges together. Repeat until you have 8 turnovers. Place on a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Mix together egg and water until well blended. Brush the egg wash over all of the pastry triangles.
- Sprinkle with sugar if using. Bake for 18-22 minutes until puffed up and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
