Air Fryer Apple Turnovers

• 2 large Apple, firm, crisp
• 20 g Unsalted butter
• 35 g Caster sugar
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1 medium Lemon
• ½ tsp Vanilla extract
• 320 g Puff pastry, all-butter preferred
• 1 Egg

1. Peel, core and cut the apples into small dice. Put them in a saucepan with the butter, caster sugar, cinnamon, finely grated lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice and the vanilla. Cook over a medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until the apples are just tender and the juices are syrupy.
2. Scrape the apple filling into a bowl and cool for 10 minutes so it does not melt the pastry. Meanwhile, take the puff pastry from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes until pliable.
3. Lightly flour the work surface and roll the puff pastry to a neat rectangle, about 3 mm thick. Cut into 4 equal squares. Spoon the cooled apple filling onto one half of each square, leaving a 1.5 cm border.
4. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush a little egg around the pastry borders, fold each square into a triangle and press the edges to seal, then crimp with a fork. Brush the tops with more egg for a glossy finish.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F) for 3 minutes. Air fry the turnovers in a single layer for 10 to 12 minutes until puffed, crisp and deep golden; cook in batches if needed. Rest for 5 minutes before serving warm so the filling can settle.
