Apple-Cranberry Turnovers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tablespoons apple jelly
    1 large tart-sweet apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
    1/3 cup dried cranberries
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed for 30 minutes (half of a 17.3 oz. package)
    1 large egg, beaten
    2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
    1 tablespoon sugar
Preparation
    Position oven rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 400\u00b0.
    Add jelly to a microwaveable bowl; microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds; stir in apple, cranberries, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
    Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12x9 inch rectangle.
    Cut into 6 squares; divide apple mixture among squares, leaving a 1-inch border, and lightly brush egg on border.
    Dot filling with butter; fold each pastry into a triangle, enclosing filling, and crimp edges with a fork.
    Cut 2 small steam vents in the top of each turnover.
    Place turnovers on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    Brush tops lightly with more egg and sprinkle with sugar.
    Bake 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden; cool until warm but not hot, about 20 minutes.
