- Using a saucepan on medium-high heat, heat apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch until mixture is boiling. 

- When mixture is to a boil, lower heat and let simmer until mixture is thick and apples are tender. This should take about 5 min. 

- Once mixture is ready, set aside to cool.  

- Flour work surface and roll out puff pastry until it is approx. a 15in square.  

- Cut puff pastry into 4 smaller pieces.

- Paint egg wash onto each puff pastry square.  

-  Spoon apple mixture into the center of each puff pastry square. 

- Add apple mixture to the center of each puff pastry square.

- Fold puff pastry over apple mixture in a triangular fashion and crimp edges with a fork.  

- Egg wash the top of each turn over and then make small diagonal incisions on the top of each turn over to allow ventilation. 

- Bake turnovers on parchment paper lined baking sheet for 20-30 min. until turnovers are golden brown.  

- Lightly frost with your favorite frosting and cover with a #ChefanieSheet!
