  1. step
    1

    Prep puff pastry & egg wash

    • You can bake only 6 turnovers at a time. Assemble full batch of 12 turnovers. Bake the first batch of 6, reserving remaining 6 in refrigerator.
    • Roll out puff pastry into a 12-by-15-inch rectangle; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
    • In small bowl, combine eggs, egg yolk and a pinch of salt; beat with fork until blended. Let stand at room temperature.

    Make filling

    • Peel and core apples.
    • Cut two-thirds of apples into ½-inch pieces. Cut remaining apples into ¼-inch slices.
    • In medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water.
    • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to thicken, about 8 minutes.
    • Remove from heat and stir in sliced apples; cool completely before filling turnovers.

    Assemble turnovers

    • Cut puff pastry into 12 rectangles, each 3¾ by 4 inches.
    • Place ½ oz cheddar in center of each rectangle; top with apple filling, dividing evenly.
    • Fold pastry in half to form smaller rectangles. Press edges firmly with fingers or fork to seal.
    • Using fork, poke tops of turnovers a few times to prevent them from overflowing.
