HOMEMADE APPLE TURNOVERS
Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 375° (190° celsius). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- TURNOVER DOUGH
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and mix with a fork. Add the milk and egg, and quickly mix together, move to a lightly floured flat surface, and knead lightly until dough comes together (dough might be too sticky, if so add a little more flour until it is just manageable, it must remain soft and a little sticky). Wrap in plastic and refrigerate while you make the apple pie filling.
- APPLE PIE FILLING
- In a small pot add the small diced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, corn starch and water, stir to combine, heat on low heat until thickened, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- PUTTING IT TOGETHER
- Remove the dough from fridge and roll flat, about pie crust thickness or even a little thicker if you want (be sure to lightly flour flat surface, top of dough and rolling pin). Roll the dough about pie crust thickness or even a little thicker if you want, and roll into a square shape (as much as possible).
- With a sharp knife cut out squares, medium to large are the best size. Brush the squares with melted butter(melt 1-2 tablespoons butter), and place approximately 1-2 heaping teaspoons of the apple pie filling on one side of square.
- Fold one corner over the other (to form a triangle) and seal edges with a fork dipped in flour (or use a pasta wheel). Place the turnovers on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Brush the turnovers lightly with milk and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden. Let cool slightly, eat plain or dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with vanilla glaze. Enjoy!
- VANILLA GLAZE
- In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla and cream, whisk until smooth (if you like it thinner add more cream). Drizzle over turnovers before serving.

APPLE TURNOVERS
Not sure how to make apple turnovers? Give this traditional recipe a try. It makes a dessert that's both tender and flaky, with apple pie-like filling and a thin, white glaze. I freeze the extra turnovers and warm them up in the microwave. They're great with coffee. -Dorothy Bayes, Sardis, Ohio

Steps:
- Chop the apples into small chunks. Heat the butter in a pan over a medium-high heat until sizzling, then scatter in most of the sugar, reserving about 1 tsp. Bubble until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is sticky. Tip in the apples and stir to coat. Season with a small pinch of sea salt flakes and cook for 5-6 mins until the apples have softened and started to caramelise and any juices they have released have evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely. Once cooled, will keep chilled for up to a day.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a baking tray inside on the middle shelf. Unravel the pastry on its baking parchment. Spoon the apple mixture over the right side of the pastry, leaving about a 1-2cm border around the edge, then brush the border all around the pastry with some of the beaten egg yolk. Fold the left side of the pastry over the apple filling to enclose it. Crimp or pinch the edge, or use a fork to seal. Use the back of a knife to score six triangles over the top of the pie, and make a few small slits in the centre of each. Brush all over with the rest of the egg yolk, then scatter with the reserved 1 tsp sugar.
- Carefully lift the pie, still on its parchment, onto the hot baking tray in the oven. Bake for 25-30 mins until puffed up and deeply golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then cut into wedges using the marked-out triangles as a guide.

Steps:
- Put the Bramley apple, sugar and cinnamon in a small pan with 1 tbsp water. Cover with a lid and simmer over a low heat for 10-15 mins until the apple breaks down and turns into a compote.
- Stir in the butter and the Gala apple and cook for a further 5 mins, uncovered, until the Gala apple is just soft but retaining its shape, and any excess water has evaporated to make a thick compote around the Gala chunks. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unravel the puff pastry sheet out on a work surface, and cut into 4 even rectangles. Divide the apple filling to one side of each of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1cm border. Brush the border with milk and fold over the empty side of pastry over the filling and crimp together. Brush with more milk and sprinkle over the sugar. Make a small steam hole in the middle of the turnovers.
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and puffed up. Leave to cool for 10 mins on a wire rack (the filling will be molten when it first comes out the oven) before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or serve at room temperature. Keep for 2 days in an airtight container.

Tips:
- Use ripe, firm apples: This will ensure that your turnovers have a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use a variety of spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic apple pie spices that work well in turnovers.
- Don't overfill the turnovers: Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and could cause them to burst open while baking.
- Seal the turnovers tightly: Use a fork to press the edges of the dough together firmly.
- Bake the turnovers until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the crust is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Serve the turnovers warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Apple pie turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They can be made with a variety of different fillings, so you can customize them to your own taste. With a little planning, you can even make them ahead of time and freeze them for later. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack or dessert, give apple pie turnovers a try.
