Ingredients
2-3 (1 pound) sheets of puff pastry, thawed
granulated sugar for topping
confectioner’s sugar for garnish
For the Apple Filling:

10 apples, Gala, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady
4 oz (114g) unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 and 1/2 tablespoons (50g) cornstarch
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Egg wash:

2 egg yolks
2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Make the Filling:

Peel, core, and slice the apples about 1/4 inch thick. Melt the butter in a large skillet and add all of the filling ingredients except for the cream to the skillet. Cook over medium heat while stirring until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and add the cream. Add more cream if the filling is too thick. Mix and set aside to coll completely. The apple pie filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

Assemble the Pastries:

Cut the puff pastry into 5-inch (13 cm) squares.

Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling (be careful not to add too much filling or the pastry won’t seal) in the center. Fold the pastry over to seal the edges forming a triangle. Press the edges together using the tines of a fork to create a decorative border and to seal the pastry.

Place the turnovers on baking trays lined with parchment paper.

Combine the egg yolks with milk in a small bowl and whisk together. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash. Sprinkle some granulated sugar on top.

Preheat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.

Chill the pastries in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Thsi will help them puff up better when they bake.

Bake the pastries on the center rack for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden.

At this point you can freeze the pastries that you will not bake. Place in the freezer on a tray until they are frozen solid. Transfer the pastries to freezer-safe bags and they will keep fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. Bake them frozen until golden. About 35 minutes.

Dust confectioner’s sugar over the pastries and serve warm. Kali Orexi!
