Instructions

:
Step 1: Make the Apple Filling
Cook the apples: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
Simmer: Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften and the mixture thickens. Let cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Pastry
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out puff pastry: Lightly flour a surface and roll out the puff pastry. Cut into 4 equal squares.
Fill the turnovers: Spoon 2 tablespoons of apple filling onto one side of each square.
Fold & seal: Fold the pastry diagonally into a triangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
Egg wash: Whisk the egg and water together, then brush over the turnovers.
Step 3: Bake
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Glaze & Serve
Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm turnovers.
Enjoy warm!

Notes

:
For extra crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
Make ahead: Store unbaked turnovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 3 months.
