Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to approximately 12-inch square. Cut the pastry into four equal squares.
Spoon the apple filling onto one half of each square, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle and use a fork to seal the edges.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the turnovers to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
