What You Will Need

• Baking sheets

• Parchment paper or Silpats

• Measuring cups and spoons

• Large bowl

• Slotted spoon

• Rolling pin

• Fork

• Butter knife

• Small bowl

• Pastry brush (Optional)

• Oven mitts

Ingredients

• 2 cups small diced (peeled) apples

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 (17.3-oz.) package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed

• Flour, for dusting work surface

• 1 large egg, whisked

• Crystal sanding sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.

2.  In a large bowl, stir together the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

3. Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll over the pastry to seal any perforations, then cut each sheet into 4 squares. 

4. Using a slotted spoon, scoop a portion of the apple mixture into the center of each puff pastry square, then fold the pastry diagonally to form triangles. Using a fork, crimp together the edges, then transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

5.  Cut three small slits in the top of each turnover, then brush them with the egg. Sprinkle the turnovers with the sanding sugar (optional).

6. Bake the turnovers for 17 to 20 minutes or until they're golden brown and puffed. Transfer the turnovers to a rack to cool, then serve warm or at room temperature.
