Step 3
If using frozen pastry sheets, defrost the sheets as the package suggests. Do not let the pastry sheets get too warm. They should be malleable but still have a slight chill to them.
Step 4
Thinly slice the apple and add it to a bowl to toss with the juice of ½ lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Be sure the apples are evenly coated

Step 11
Be sure that all the apple slices are covered
Step 12

Step 14
Then brush the pastries lightly with the egg wash
Step 15
Finally, poke a couple holes on top of each pastry to allow for airflow while baking
