2 Granny Smith apples

1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar

1 butter
for baking sheet
Equipment
- 1 oven

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C and thaw pastry sheets on the kitchen counter for 10 minutes.
- Toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, flour, and sugars and set aside.
- Slice each sheet of pastry into quarters. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture into the centre of each square, leaving a 2cm border around the edges.
- Fold the square over into a triangle, and press the edges firmly together using the end of a butter knife in a decorative pattern.

- Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.
