Fall is here and its a great time to start that fall baking. Apples are being picked and they make a wonderful turnover

Puff Pastry Sheets
1/2 white sugar

4 1/2 cups of granny smith apples peeled, cored and medium sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup corn starch
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Sprinkle the Lemon Juice over the apples and mix well, set aside. Set the puff pastry off to the side along with the 1/2 cup white sugar, and cover the pastry with a damp cloth. Add all the other ingredients into a dutch over medium heat and bring to a boil, allow to reduce by 1/2. Remove from the heat and add in the apples. Mix well.

Cut the puff pastry into 6″ x 6″ squares (approximately 8) Pat the sheets of pastry (both sides) into the white sugar and coat well. Add the apple mixture into the puff pastry and fold over straight or in a triangle. Brush the edges with water and pinch to seal. Using a pair of scissors cut three small holes into the top of the turnover.

Heat your oven to 375, Spray a half sheet pan well with vegetable oil. Place the turnover onto the pan and bake for approximately 15 – 20 minutes allowing them to brown slightly. The bottoms of the pastries should be a golden brown. Remove the turnovers as soon as possibly to a cooling rack to avoid sticking to the sheet pan. Enjoy!
