Ingredients

• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 3 medium Granny Smith apples
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Keep them in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Step 3

Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and lemon juice. Stir well until the apples are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, unfold one pastry sheet. Cut it into four equal squares.

Step 6

Place a tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center of each square.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash.

Step 9

Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle shape. Press the edges with a fork to seal tightly.

Step 10

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the second pastry sheet.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed.

Step 13

Allow them to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.

Step 14

For the glaze, slowly whisk the powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over cooled turnovers.

Step 15

Serve warm or at room temperature.
