ingredients
directions
To a saucepan over medium heat, add butter, apples, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Continuously stirring, cook until the apples have softened, about 5 minutes.
With a splash of water make a slurry with the cornstarch and pour over the apple mixture. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Slice each sheet of puff pastry into six evenly sized squares, roughly 4 by 4 inches in size.
Brush the edges with egg wash and add a tablespoon of the cooled apple filling. Fold dough over to create a triangle and press down gently with a fork to seal the edges.
Transfer to a lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the puff pastry to chill.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush a second time with egg wash and finish with a sprinkle of coarse sugar. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve warm or room temperature.
