What is an Apple Turnover?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An apple turnover is similar to apple pie in that it contains diced apples cooked in a sweet spice mixture until soft, and encapsulated in dough. But, a turnover uses flaky puff pastry dough, while pie uses a more sturdy pie crust. Turnovers are meant to be easier to make than pie–just pile the cooked fruit in one corner, ‘turn over’ the dough on top of it, and bake! They’re my favorite fall hand-held dessert, and much easier to eat and serve than pie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best 15 minutes you’ll spend this morning is making this dough. I can barely even talk about the flaky layers. Oh, the flaky layers. And the buttery, spicy apple scent while it bakes is exactly what your house needs right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tweaked the apple filling recipe from my apple-stuffed baked apples<\/span><\/a> and use it in these turnovers. It did not disappoint. In fact, these turnovers were the highlight of my morning all week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
