Zutaten

• 4 medium-sized cooking apples of choice (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 tablespoon butter (melted)
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

• 1 lb Puff Pastry (thawed)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C

2. 2

   Combine the lemon juice and diced apples in a bowl to prevent them from turning brown. Add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and melted butter. Mix to combine. Set aside.

3. 3

   On a floured surface, roll each sheet of puff pastry to a 12-inch by 12-inch (30cm by 30cm) square. Cut each sheet into 4 squares and make sure they stay chilled until you are ready to use them.

4. 4

   Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper/greaseproof paper. Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and neatly place 1/3 cup of the apple mixture on half of the square.

5. 5

   Fold the pastry diagonally over the apple mixture and seal by pressing the edges with a fork.

6. 6

   Brush the top with egg wash, make a small slit on the top of each turnover, and bake for 20 minutes, until browned and puffed. Let cool for 5 minutes.
