Notes

Frozen Puff Pastry - make sure to thaw the puff pastry. Frozen puff pastry is very brittle. You can use a precut package or cut it into squares using a pizza cutter.
With one pack of puff pastry, you should be able to make 6-8 apple turnovers. However, it will depend on how much filling you add.

Substitutions

Here are some quick ways to adjust this recipe to your special diet.

Vegetarian- To make this dish vegetarian, replace the egg wash with a vegetarian option. You can brush the pastry with milk or butter instead.

Vegan- To make this dish vegan, you will need vegan pastry. Most puff pastries are made with margarine anyways. Instead of the egg wash- you can brush the pastry with margarine or a vegan milk substitute.

Sugar Free - It's easy to make this sugar-free! Just omit the sugar. Cooked apples have their inherent sweetness, and you can leave out the sugar altogether. If that doesn't appeal to you, add a few raisins once your apples are cooked.

Leftovers & Storage

Once you have air-fried the apple turnovers, they will last for 1 day outside the fridge.

After that, the puff pastry will start deflating. Though it will still be edible.

Prepped apple turnovers can be frozen quite easily. First, freeze them on a tray, and then pop them in a zip-lock bag. That way, you have a delicious snack ready at any time! All you have to do is pop it in the air fryer!
