How to Make Apple Turnovers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw puff pastry sheet for 40 minutes. Once thawed, gently unfold and cut into 6 equal squares.
  3. Place the cut dough squares on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to fill (about 15 minutes).
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves. Gently toss to coat.
  5. Let the apple mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the apples to release their juices.
  6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the apple filling onto the center of one half of each dough square, positioned diagonally.
  7. Make an egg wash by whisking together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
  8. Lightly brush the edges of the dough squares with the egg wash.
  9. Fold the dough over the filling to form triangles. Press the edges firmly to seal, crimping with a fork for a decorative touch.
  10. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
