Step 1
Place the sliced apples into a medium saucepan. Add the sugar.
Step 2
Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring often, for about 10 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 3
In a small measuring cup, whisk together the water and cornstarch to make a slurry.
Step 4
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the apples. Mix well.
Step 5
Add the cinnamon and butter. Stir until the mixture starts to thicken, then remove from heat.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to cool completely. I transfer mine to another bowl and then place them in the fridge to speed this up.
Step 7
*The apples will cook down and make about 3 cups.
Step 8
Allow the puff pastry sheets to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or until you can unfold them without them breaking. They should still be very cold, just not frozen.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 400º Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking mat.
Step 10
Unfold each puff pastry and cut them down the center and across the center, making 4 equal squares on each sheet.
Step 11
Place a spoonful of cooled apple pie filling on one half of each square, leaving about ½ border of puff pastry on the sides.
Step 12
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
Step 13
Use a pastry brush to brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
Step 14
Fold the puff pastry squares to make triangles and then use the tins of a fork to press the pastries closed along the two open edges.
Step 15
Use a pastry brush to spread the egg wash on top of the puff pastry triangles.
Step 16
Place the puff pastries on the prepared pan, leaving 2-3 inches between each pastry so it has room to expand.
Step 17
Bake 400º Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
Step 18
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of cream and the vanilla. Whisk until completely combined.
Step 19
Add another tablespoon of heavy cream if needed to get a drizzling consistency.
Step 20
Serve immediately.
Step 21
Once the pastries are cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
