I had a lone apple in the fridge & my husband loves apple desserts! This was so fast & fairly simple. I used butter for shortening & the dough was very easy to work with. I should have sliced the apple a lot thinner; the filling kept spilling out & I had a few slices leftover. Baking time was 30 min & the glaze was wonderful--used honey for the corn syrup since I had none. I hope to make this for him again; is so much easier than making a whole apple pie!! Thanks for sharing!

This is a great treat! I live alone but always cook for myself. On the way home from work I was thinking about an apple turnover - knew I had one good apple left and went searching for a recipe. This was great - crust was flakey - inside great - made the place smell great too. Thanks for the recipe.
