  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • raw sugar optional

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cheddar cheese. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together beaten egg and water to make the egg wash. Set aside.
  • Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 4 rectangles. Brush edges with egg wash. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture in the center of each rectangle. Fold over diagonally and press firmly with a fork to seal the edges.
  • Place on cookie sheet and brush top with egg wash. Cut two small slits into each turnover to vent. Sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until turnovers are golden. Best served warm.

Notes

I used granny smith apples. So if you use a sweeter or tarter apple, you may need to adjust the amount of brown sugar.
The apples reduce quite a bit, so put a generous amount in each turnover. You might have to stretch the pastry to cover it.
