Easy Apple Turnovers

Instructions

1. Remove puff pastry from the freezer to thaw.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Combine apples with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Add to the apple mixture.
4. Cover and cook stirring occasionally until softened, about 4 minutes or until very slightly softened and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat and cool.
5. Lightly dust the work surface with flour. Gently roll the puff pastry into a 14-inch square. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut it into 4 squares.
6. Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush the edges of the 4 pieces with the egg wash.
7. Divide the cooled apple mixture over the pastry. Fold each turnover diagonally and press the edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with remaining egg wash and with a knife, cut a couple of small slits in each turnover. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
8. Bake 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool slightly before serving.
