• preheat the oven to 400 degrees f (200 degrees c).
• unfold puff pastry sheets, and repair any cracks by pressing them back together. trim each sheet into a square. then cut each larger square into 4 smaller squares. spoon apples the center of each squares. fold over from corner to corner into a triangle shape, and press edges together to seal. place turnovers on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
• bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until turnovers are puffed and lightly browned. cool completely before glazing.
• to make the glaze, mix together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl. adjust the thickness by adding more sugar or milk if necessary. drizzle glaze over the cooled turnovers.
