Add the apple, water, honey and cinnamon oo a saucepan and place over a low heat. Allow to bubble away for about ten minutes until the apple pieces are softened but still have some bite.
Preheat your oven to 180ºC/gas mark 4 and line a large flat baking tray with parchment.
Melt the other two tablespoons of butter and set aside.
Place the first filo sheet on a clean work surface or a large plate.
Brush the entire sheet with the melted butter. Repeat and place the next sheet on top. Continue to layer until it is four sheets in thickness.
Place two tablespoons of the apple filling down one side of the pastry sheets. Fold the sheets over the filling so it looks like a rectangle.
Pinch the edges shut.
Continue to make three more turnovers.
Place the turnover onto the prepared baking tray and place the pinched side down so it is on the underside when baking.
Brush the four turnovers with the remaining melted butter and bake for about 15 minutes or until the pastry is light brown
Once cool enough to handle gently transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely and lightly dust with icing sugar.
