Ingredients:
- 4 medium apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Directions:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
- In 2-quart saucepan, heat apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer about 5 minutes or until thickened and apples are tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Sprinkle work surface lightly with flour. Roll out thawed puff pastry into 15-inch square. Cut into 4 smaller squares.
- Brush each square with egg wash; spoon apple mixture onto center of each. Fold each in half diagonally to form a triangle; press edges together to seal. Use back of fork to crimp edges. Transfer to cookie sheet; brush with egg wash. Use sharp knife to cut a few vents into each turnover.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden.
