2medium apples, peeled, cored, halved, and thinly sliced

Place approximately ½ cup (125 ml) of apple on the bottom half of each pastry rectangle. Fold the top part of the pastry down to cover the apples, and close the turnovers by pressing fork tines around the pastry edge to create a sealed 5 x 5-inch (12.5 x 12.5 cm) pocket. Brush the tops of each pocket with melted butter.
