Easy Apple Turnovers Recipe

🛒 Ingredients (Check Off As You Measure)

• 1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender and the juices have thickened. Let cool slightly.
3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 squares (or circles if you prefer).
4. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the apple mixture onto the center of each square. Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold over to form a triangle, and press with a fork to seal.
5. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Cut small slits for steam to escape. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
