Air-Fried Apple Turnovers

Instructions

• 1Place the apples, butter, brown sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until simmering. Cover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 6 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. 
• 3Whisk the egg and water together to make the egg wash. The water thins down the egg making it easier to brush. 
• 4Cut the pastry sheet into 4 squares.
• 5Working with one square at a time, brush the edges with the egg wash. Place a quarter of the apple mixture in the center. Fold in half diagonally and press to remove air bubbles and seal. Press with a fork to seal and trim the edges, if necessary. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling. 
• 6Transfer the turnovers to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and refrigerate 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. 
• 7Insert the oven rack into position 3 Down. Place the roasting pan on the rack to catch any drips during cooking. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 325°F, for 30 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 turbinado sugar. Spray the air fry basket with oil and place the turnovers, evenly spaced in the basket. 
• 9Once preheated, place the basket into position 1 and air fry for 30 minutes. When the oven signals halfway through cooking, check the turnovers and rotate the basket if necessary.
• 10The turnovers should be browned, puffed and crisp. If not, press A Bit More.
  Tip: It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it.
• 11Dust the turnovers with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
