Apple Turnovers

1 pkg frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
2 c. peeled and diced apples, I used Fuji
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 T. splenda blend brown sugar, or brown sugar
1 T. lemon juice
1 egg, whisked, optional
sanding sugar, optional

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Unroll thawed pastry onto baking sheets (1 sleeve per sheet). Pastry should still be cool, not warm. Seal any perforations or tears, and cut each sheet into 4 squares. Space squares 2" apart. Combine apples, cinnamon, brown sugar and lemon juice. Using a slotted spoon, place 1 T. mixture in middle of square and fold over, forming a triangle. Crimp sides with a fork. Cut 3 slits in tops of turnover. Bake 17-20 minutes at 400 degrees, until golden brown and puffed. (Do not overfill pastry.)

*Brush egg over pastries & sprinkle with sanding sugar before baking, if desired.

**Serve with vanilla ice cream as a dessert or as a breakfast pastry.
