2. Combine the orange zest and the orange juice in a bowl.

8. Fold the pastry diagonally over the Apple mixture and seal by pressing the edges with a fork.

9. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

10. Brush the top with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, make two small slits in each, and bake for 20 min., until browned and puffy.
