Ingredients
  

For the apple filling
  • 2 medium apples, chopped (preferably Granny Smith) You can peel them if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice For brightness.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Essential for that cozy flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon butter To be melted for the filling.
For the turnovers
  • 1 package pre-made puff pastry From the fridge aisle.
  • 1 large egg For brushing on top.
  • powdered sugar as needed For dusting (optional).

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a pan, melt the butter and add chopped apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5-6 minutes until apples are softened.
Assembling Turnovers
  1. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into squares.
  2. Place a scoop of the apple filling in the center of each square.
  3. Fold the pastry over the filling to create triangles and press the edges with a fork to seal.
  4. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a shiny finish.
Baking
  1. Place the turnovers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Let them cool before serving.

Notes

For best results, consume the turnovers the same day they are baked. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container once cooled. Reheat in a toaster oven or oven to restore flakiness.
