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.
Cook the Turnovers: Place the turnovers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
