These soft on the inside, flaky on the outside apple turnovers are incredibly easy to make, thanks to the use of store-bought puff pastry sheets. It is one of the versatile things you can get at the store, and this is one of the simplest ways to get a truly impressive and delicious result.

Inside the buttery, golden brown layers of pastry is a gooey apple-filled center, spiced to perfection! You can spice these up however you want, maybe with a bit of pumpkin pie spice or just a dash of cinnamon. The only thing we think is a must is a bit of cornstarch. The apples will leach a ton of liquid during cooking, so tossing them in a bit of cornstarch will help to turn that juice into delectable sauce.
