Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Thaw the puff pastry sheets slightly (3–4 minutes) until pliable. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Step 4
Place 2 tbsp apple filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold diagonally to form a triangle and press edges to seal.
Step 5
Whisk the egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush over each pastry. Arrange on a sheet pan.
Step 6
Bake at 400°F until puffed and golden brown, 10–12 minutes. Cool 2 minutes before serving.
