Ingredients

Main ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry thawed and ready to roll
3 cups apples peeled and diced into ⅓ to ½ inch cubes
3 tablespoons fully loaded sugar blended with 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons fragrant cinnamon to boost that apple vibe
½ teaspoon nutmeg for that warm spicy kick
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice doing its bright thing
¼ cup water to get the filling nice and juicy
2 tablespoons corn starch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400F.
Mix the diced apples with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and water in a big bowl.
Dissolve the corn starch in cold water, then mix into the apple mixture.
Roll out one puff pastry sheet and cut into 4 equal squares.
Place a spoonful of apple filling into each square's center, then fold into triangles and crimp edges with a fork.
Brush with egg wash, then bake on a lined sheet for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

Serve these apple pies warm for an authentic touch. Consider adding ice cream or whipped cream as a delicious topping.
