Apple Turnovers
What it is
These are individual pastry pockets filled with sweetened apple pieces. The dough is typically flaky and buttery, encasing a tender, spiced apple filling. They are often baked until golden brown and slightly puffed. The contrast between the crisp pastry and the soft fruit makes them a popular treat.

To prepare these turnovers, simply bake them according to package directions, usually in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden and heated through. They are best served warm. You can enhance their flavor by dusting them with powdered sugar or serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also pair well with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to apple pie, turnovers are individual portions, making them convenient for single servings. The pastry is often a puff pastry or a shortcrust, which can be lighter and flakier than a traditional pie crust, offering a different texture experience.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a convenient and delicious sweet treat.
How to keep the rest
Store any leftover, unbaked turnovers in their original packaging in the refrigerator for up to two days. Baked turnovers should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, or refrigerated for longer storage. Reheat gently if desired.
