Cut the sheet into 4 squares. Then add about a tablespoon of filling in the center. Fold the dough over, make a triangle, and then use your fingers or a fork to seal the edges. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with a fork.

Some Common Questions About Air Fryer Apple Turnovers
How to Use Puff Pastry.
While today, I used frozen puff pastry, which is found in the freezer aisle need the bread. You may certainly switch it out for homemade.
This recipe calls for thawed puff pastry, so you have two options for defrosting.
- You can leave it out on the counter for about 30 minutes.
- You can leave it in the refrigerator overnight.
Can These Make in Advance?
You can certainly make these in advance. Just keep them refrigerated until it is time to air fry them. And make sure they are tightly wrapped so the dough does not dry out.
How to Store Apple Turnovers
If you do not finish the turnovers, let them cool to room temperature and then place them in an airtight container. They will keep for about a day. If you would like to keep them longer, place the container in the refrigerator.
To Freeze: Let them cool to room temperature. Then place them on a baking sheet, and place the baking sheet into the freezer. Then place the frozen pastry into a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. They should last about 3-4 weeks.
How To Cook Apple Turnovers In The Oven
If you want to make these in the oven, all you need to do is, place them onto a baking sheet and pop them into a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
