Toss diced apples with cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl.

Lay thawed puff pastry on a cutting board and cut into four 4-inch squares.
Step 3
Spoon apple mixture onto one half of each square, leaving a 0.5-inch border.
Step 4
Fold each square in half to form a triangle, then press edges firmly with a fork to seal.
