Ingredients

1 cup apple pie filling
1 package puff pastry 17.3oz
Egg wash
Cinnamon glaze
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract clear

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F. Thaw puff pastry sheets and cut into 8 squares (4/sheet).
Place 1 heaping tablespoon apple pie filling on each square. Fold pastry over filling making triangles.
Make egg wash by whisking 1 egg and a little water. Brush pastry triangles with egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional).
Place pastries on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. While baking, prepare the glaze.
Combine the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. Stir to combine.
When apple turnovers are done, remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
When turnovers are cooled off slightly, drizzle with vanilla glaze and enjoy!

Notes

Pastry success - Keep the pastry cold before baking so it puffs up. Cutting with a pizza cutter is super easy. And avoid overstuffing them so they don't burst.

Get that golden crust - Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar before baking. Cut a slit in the top to allow them to vent.

Easy cleanup - Like the baking sheet with parchment paper to save on washing dishes.

Safety first - Let cool a few minutes before eating as the filling will be extremely hot.

Freezer friendly - Skip the glaze if storing or freezing and add it after thawing for best results.
