  • 1 egg

  • Slice the pastry into 8 squares, or rectangles, depending on the shape of your pastry. Spoon apple filling into each square evenly, placing into the bottom corner of the square, leaving the filling about 1/2" from the edge.

  • Fold the corners together to create a triangle shape. It may be slightly difficult with the pastry shape if it's a rectangle, just fold the dough as best as you can. Also, work quickly, as the pastry begins to come to room temperature it gets very sticky and is challenging to work with. Crimp the edges of the turnover with a fork.

  • Scramble egg and gently use a pastry brush to add an egg wash to the top of each turnover.

  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. The paper will naturally turn dark brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
