Steps
Peel and core the apples, cut into small pieces and drizzle with lemon juice.
Mix the apples with brown sugar, cornstarch or flour and cinnamon until coated. Set aside.
Transfer the chilled puff pastry to a lined baking sheet. Mark a long rectangle in the center, about one-third of the sheet’s width. Make diagonal cuts about 2 cm to 1 inch apart on both sides and discard the four corners.
Spread the apricot jam in the center rectangle and place the apples on top.
Fold the top of the dough over the filling, then fold the diagonal strips over it, alternating sides. Press the ends and sides to seal.
Brush with beaten egg and optionally sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C), fan on with upper and lower heat, for about 22 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cooled.
