Golden Apple Triangles
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup peeled and grated tart apple, like Granny Smith (about 2 apples)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 18 teaspoon salt
- Flour for rolling out pastry
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed overnight in refrigerator
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar like Demerara or turbinado (optional)
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
- In another bowl, mix apples, remaining granulated sugar, lemon juice and salt.
- Let sit 5 minutes, and drain, reserving juice.
- On a floured work surface, roll out a sheet of puff pastry to a rectangle roughly 9 by 12 inches.
- Cut into 6 squares, and place 1 tablespoon apple filling in center of each.
- Lightly brush edges with reserved apple juice; fold into triangles, and seal edges by crimping with a fork.
- Repeat with remaining puff pastry and filling.

- Turnovers can be kept frozen in zipper-lock freezer bags up to 1 month.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick pan liners.
- Brush tops of frozen turnovers with apple juice, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and arrange on baking sheets.
