In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated.

Unroll the pie crusts onto a lightly floured surface. Using a 4-inch round cutter or a knife, cut each crust into four circles.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture onto one half of each pastry circle, leaving a small border.

Fold the other half of the pastry over the apple filling to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse turbinado sugar.
- 7
Cut 2-3 small slits on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape during baking.

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. The filling will be bubbly.

Let the turnovers cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
