Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets until they are even and smooth.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of apricot preserves in the center of each square. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaking during baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Lightly brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash.
Fold the squares into triangles by bringing one corner diagonally over the filling to meet the opposite corner and press the edges to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative seal.
Transfer the turnovers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each pastry.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash, then sprinkle each with a small pinch of granulated sugar.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the turnovers to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
