- Unfold puff pastry sheets and cut each larger square into four smaller squares. Spoon apples into the center of each square. Fold pastry corner to corner in a triangle. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork.
- Option 1 - Score the puff pastry sheet (optional, not required) brush with egg wash (whisked water and egg), and sprinkle with sugar (also optional).
- If freezing, place in the freezer. Otherwise place on silicon baking sheet or parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes in preheated oven until turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
