Unfold puff pastry sheets, and press sheets back together to fix any cracks.
17.25 ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets
Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
Spoon apples onto the center of each squares. Don't spoon the accumulated juices in.
Fold over from corner to corner into a triangle shape.
Crimp edges together to seal.

Sprinkle the tops with the raw sugar. You can also dust the tops with cinnamon if desired.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until turnovers are puffed and light golden brown.

Baking apples: Any baking apple will work in this recipe. Granny Smith apples are my favorite because they're a little tart which helps to balance out the sweetness of the filling.

Brown sugar: Light brown sugar or dark brown sugar will work in this recipe.

Cinnamon: If you want to mix up the spices, use an equal amount of apple pie spice in place of the cinnamon.
