Lay each piece of puff pastry on its own piece of parchment paper and roll them lightly.

Top both pieces with apple mixture and distribute evenly. Then top with them with shredded cheese.

Fold the pastry sheets inward of the width on both ends. Fold in again so that the dough meets in the middle. Fold one more time.
