Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apple, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and unsalted butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the apple mixture and cook for another minute, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Place the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Roll it lightly to ensure even thickness if necessary.
Spoon the apple filling onto one half of the puff pastry, leaving a border around the edges.
Fold the other half of the puff pastry over the apple filling to form a triangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal securely.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush it evenly over the surface of the turnover.
Using a small knife, cut 2-3 small slits on top of the turnover to allow steam to escape while baking.
Place the turnover on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow the turnover to cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your homemade apple turnover for one!
