Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until apples are tender and sauce thickens slightly.

- Roll out puff pastry sheets and cut each into 4 squares (8 total).
- Place a spoonful of apple filling in the center of each square. Fold over into a triangle and press edges to seal with a fork.
- Place turnovers on the baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor balance.
- Turnovers can be made ahead and baked straight from the freezer.
- Add a drizzle of icing for extra sweetness and presentation.
