Apple Puff Pastry Turnovers

When your husband asks for apple pie but you don't feel like making pastry... puff pastry to the rescue! Now he likes these better than pie!

Ingredients:

1/2 lb (1 sheet) store bought butter puff pastry (defrosted)

1 cup dice apples

1 tsp butter 

1 tbsp brown sugar 

1 tbsp white sugar 

1/2 tsp cornstarch 

1/4 tsp cinnamon 

Egg wash:1 egg and 1 tbsp milk

Glaze: 1 tbsp milk and 1-2 tbsps icing sugar 

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Add the apples (diced small) and cook for 5 minutes. Then on low heat add both sugars, cornstarch and cinnamon. Cook 3-5 minutes until apples are tender. Remove from heat and cool completely, popping them in the fridge if you want to speed things up. On a floured surface roll out the puff pastry to 11" then cut into 4 equal squares.  Mix egg and 1 tbsp milk together for egg wash and brush on 2 edges of each square.  Divide filling onto center of each piece then fold over to form a triangle.  Seal pressing a fork around 2 edges. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and cut slits in tops. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.  Then brush each turnover with egg wash and bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.  Mix the glaze adding enough icing sugar for your desired consistency and drizzle over warm turnovers.  Makes 4
