- Remove puff pastry sheet from the freezer and allow to thaw partially. Then cut the sheet into 4 squares and brush the edges of each square with the egg.
- Spoon apples into the centre of each puff pastry square, then fold the pastry over from corner to corner into a triangle shape and seal the edges together with a fork.

Notes
Tips for making Air Fryer Apple Turnovers
- There’s no need to preheat the air fryer for these apple turnovers.
- If your air fryer isn’t non-stick I’d suggest lightly spraying the bottom of your basket before adding the turnovers.
- You can skip the egg wash but it does make the turnovers more golden and shiny.
- If you have a single basket air fryer you’ll need to cook these turnovers in two batches. If you have trays or a trivet attachment, cook all at once.
- To cook in the oven simply put the turnovers on a lined baking tray in a preheated oven (180C / 350F) for 15-20 minutes until golden.
- You can freeze uncooked apple turnovers to bake later. This is especially handy if you have a smaller air fryer, as a batch will make you 4 turnovers, and most smaller air fryers will only bake 2 at a time. Cook 2 now, freeze 2 for later!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days.
