Quick and Easy Apple Turnovers in the Air Fryer

These apple turnovers feature a flaky pastry shell filled with spiced apples, all cooked to golden perfection in an air fryer. The recipe takes about 25 minutes from start to finish and makes 4 turnovers.
Ingredients
- 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon flour (for dusting)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- Roll Out Pastry: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
- Fill the Pastry: Place a spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and seal the edges with a fork.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
