Combine the orange zest and orange juice in a bowl and keep aside. Peel, quarter, and core the apples and then cut them in 3/4-inch dice. Immediately toss the apples with the zest and juice to prevent them from turning brown. Add the cherries, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and mix everything well.

Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash and neatly spoon some of the apple mixture on half of the square. Fold the pastry diagonally over the apple mixture and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Proceed the same way with the remaining pastry sheets. Brush the top with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar and make 2 slits.
