- 4 Granny Smith apples diced (about 2 cups)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- pinch of salt
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
- flour for dusting
- 1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water
- sanding or turbinado sugar optional
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line two sheet trays with parchment.
In a large mixing bowl, add the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice and stir to coat. Let rest for 10 minutes.
On a work surface dusted with flour, place the sheets of puff pastry and gently roll them to roughly a 12x12 square. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
Using a spoon, scoop some apples into the center of each square leaving a ¼” border. Fold each square corner-to-corner to form a triangle. Using a fork, crimp the edges of each turnover.
Brush each turnover with egg wash, sprinkle with sanding or turbinado sugar, and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Transfer to a rack to cool.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
