Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, toss diced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 3-inch squares.
Spoon a small amount of apple mixture into the center of each square.
Fold pastry over to form triangles or rectangles, pressing edges with a fork to seal.
Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden shine.
Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for added crunch.

Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the apple filling for deeper flavor.

Drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze once cooled for extra sweetness.

Drain excess liquid from the apple mixture to prevent soggy pastry.

Can be frozen unbaked and baked straight from frozen (add a few minutes).
