Easy Peasy Apple Turnovers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 puff pastry sheets (pre-rolled measuring 25cm x 25cm, defrost)
    3 granny smith apples (or of choice)
    4 whole cloves
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
    1 egg (whisked)
    2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 200 degree Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Peel, core and small dice apples.
    Place apples, cloves, cinnamon and lemon juice in a medium saucepan and cook on a medium heat until just tender (DO NOT LET GO TO MUSHY STAGE) - about 3 minutes.
    Remove cloves.
    Divide each pastry sheet into 4 squares.
    Place a heaping tablespoon of apple on the diagonal of the pastry square.
    Pull over to form a triangle and seal using a fork, gently pushing in to the edge to seal, using edge of knife put 1 or 2 small slits into the pastry (to let steam escape).
    Continue until all 12 turnovers are filled and sealed.
    Brush top of turnovers with whisked egg (you will only use a small amount of the egg) and sprinkle with sugar.
    Place on a cookie/baking tray covered with baking paper/parchment paper (I get 6 to a tray).
    Put in oven and bake for 15 minutes.
    TO SERVE.
    Serve warm with custard, cream and or ice cream.
    With just a sprinkle of icing sugar (confectioners sugar).
    I have made up the apple mix and only made 6 turnovers and served the extra apple with them with custard.
