How to Make Apple Turnovers
  1. Prepare the puff pastry. Ensure it's thawed if using store-bought or ready to roll if homemade.
  2. Mix the apple filling. Combine diced apples, cornstarch, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar in a bowl.
  3. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares or triangles.
  4. Fill the pastry pieces with a spoonful of the apple filling, being careful not to overfill.
  5. Fold over the pastry and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork or pinching them closed.
  6. Create the egg wash by whisking together egg and milk. Brush the mixture over the tops of the turnovers.
  7. Drizzle with salted caramel before serving, if desired.
