Air-Fried Apple Turnovers

Instructions

• 1Place the apples, butter, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt in a pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until simmering. Cover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the syrup is thick.
• 2Spread the filling in a shallow dish and refrigerate for 20 minutes to cool. This will prevent the pastry from getting soggy. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
• 3Whisk the egg and water together to make the egg wash. The water thins down the egg making it easier to brush.
• 4Cut each pastry sheet into 4 squares. Leave one square on the board and refrigerate the remaining until ready to use.
• 5Working with one square at a time, brush the edges with the egg wash. Place a heaped tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center. Fold in half and press to remove air bubbles and seal. Press with a fork to secure the seal. Place in the refrigerator and repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
• 6Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is firm.
  Tip: Turnovers can be frozen at this stage for up to 1 month. Thaw for 20 minutes before cooking.
• 7Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 325°F, for 26 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step. 
• 8Brush the turnovers with the egg wash and score the pastry 3 times. Sprinkle with the sugar. Spray the air fry basket with oil and place the turnovers, evenly spaced in the basket.
• 9Once preheated, place the basket in rack position 3 and cook for 26 minutes.
