Ingredients

• Flour
• 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 Granny Smith apples
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground ginger
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten

Directions

1. Generously flour a working surface. Roll the puff pastry into a 9×15 rectangle. Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares. Refrigerate until needed.

2. Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan. Peel and core the apples; cut into 1/2" chunks. Toss the apples with the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and lemon juice, then add to the sugar mixture and simmer until the liquid thickens, 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Preheat the oven to 425. When the apple mixture cools, spoon 2-3 tbsp of apples onto the puff pastry squares, off center. Fold the pastry over the apple filling to make a triangle and seal the perimeter by pinching the edges or pressing the tines of a fork into the dough.

4. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and brush with the egg white. Bake until the dough is crispy and golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
