For Stewed Cinnamon Apples
- 2 apples (Pink Lady recommended), peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
For Turnovers
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry

Optional to Serve
- Thickened Cream, whipped
Instructions
- Cook the Stewed Cinnamon Apples as instructed in this post. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate and allow them to cool slightly.
- Remove the puff pastry sheet from the freezer and let it thaw partially. Then, cut the sheet into 4 squares and brush the edges of each square with the beaten egg.
- Spoon the stewed apples into the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the pastry over from corner to corner, forming a triangle shape, and seal the edges together with a fork.
- Brush the tops of each turnover with the beaten egg.

Notes
Tips for making Air Fryer Apple Turnovers
- No preheating of the air fryer is necessary for these apple turnovers.
- If your air fryer isn’t non-stick, lightly spray the bottom of the basket with cooking spray before adding the turnovers.
- While optional, applying an egg wash will enhance the color and shine of the turnovers.
- If you have a single-basket air fryer, you’ll need to cook the turnovers in two batches. However, if you have trays or a trivet attachment, you can cook them all at once.
- Alternatively, you can bake the turnovers in a preheated oven (180°C / 350°F) on a lined baking tray for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Uncooked apple turnovers can be frozen for later baking. This is especially convenient for smaller air fryers, as you can bake two at a time. Bake two now and freeze the remaining two for later use.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
