INGREDIENTS:

6 Apples                                                  

Juice of ½ Lemon                                      

3 Tbsps. Cornstarch                                   

½ cup Sugar     

¼ tsp. Cinnamon                                        

1/8 tsp. Nutmeg

2. Peel and core the Apples; cut into quarters and then cut each quarter into 4 pieces.
3. Sprinkle the Lemon Juice over the sliced Apples and gently toss.
4. Mix the dry ingredients together in a small bowl; add to the Apples and gently toss.
5. If using frozen Puff Pastry Dough, cut the thawed dough into 6” squares.  Arrange the dough squares so that they appear to be triangles.
6. Place a spoonful of the Apple filling on the bottom portion of each triangle.  Moisten 2 adjacent sides with water, fold the top portion over and crimp the edges together with a fork to seal.  Place on an ungreased baking sheet or on a parchment lined baking sheet.
