Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel, core, and dice apples into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

  2. Step 2

    Unfold puff pastry on a cutting board. Cut into 8 rectangles (roughly 3x4 inches each).

  3. Step 3

    Spoon 1 tbsp apple mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch border.

  4. Step 4

    Fold pastry in half over the filling. Press edges with a fork to seal.

  5. Step 5

    Brush each pie with beaten egg. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Bake at 400°F for 16–18 minutes until edges puff and turn deep golden brown.
