Easy Peasy Apple Turnovers

"This recipe was inspired by mliss29's recipe #292754 (which was greatly enjoyed by the DS's recreation group) but put a sweet flavour to it instead of savoury. Please note if you do like it sweet then certainly add the sugar for without it is just the flavour of your fruit and the spices."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 200 degree Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Peel, core and small dice apples.
  • Place apples, cloves, cinnamon and lemon juice in a medium saucepan and cook on a medium heat until just tender (DO NOT LET GO TO MUSHY STAGE) - about 3 minutes.
  • Remove cloves.
  • Divide each pastry sheet into 4 squares.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of apple on the diagonal of the pastry square.
  • Pull over to form a triangle and seal using a fork, gently pushing in to the edge to seal, using edge of knife put 1 or 2 small slits into the pastry (to let steam escape).
  • Continue until all 12 turnovers are filled and sealed.
  • Brush top of turnovers with whisked egg (you will only use a small amount of the egg) and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Place on a cookie/baking tray covered with baking paper/parchment paper (I get 6 to a tray).
  • Put in oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • TO SERVE.
  • Serve warm with custard, cream and or ice cream.
  • With just a sprinkle of icing sugar (confectioners sugar).
  • I have made up the apple mix and only made 6 turnovers and served the extra apple with them with custard.

  1. This recipe was super easy, but the filling was just okay for me. I found it too dry and not sweet enough.
     
  2. Well I have to say that i had higher expectations for this recipe. I would have rather it been a little sweeter. As the sugar was optional I didn't add it cuz I was afraid it was going to be sweet. But I wish I had added it :( My daughter too was a bit more sweetness, she topped it with crispy ice=cream topping and whipped cream. Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag game.
     
  3. I loved this recipe. It was so quick and easy to throw together. Everyone that tried them...loved them. I ground my 3 fresh cloves and didn't find them over powering. The pastry was crisp and the apple filling tart and tender. I did add an additional apple, as we prefer alot of fruit. I will make these again and again. Thanks for sharing I'mPat .
     
  4. Ehhh... think it was the cloves that were too overpowering. Made it taste like medicine. Theres a recipe with biscuits that is better on here: Recipe #301054 but that's only my preference. Sorry - maybe will try again by decreasing the amount of cloves.
     
  5. I reduced this down to 4 servings using 1 granny smith apple and 2 cloves. I also added a dash of sugar to the pot while cooking, and sprinkled sugar and cinammon on top before baking. This is a very light brunch item but it needs more tweeking for sweeteness (raisins perhaps?) and more cinammon to bring out additional flavor. Also, I think adding an small hole on top of the pastries prior to baking would help it not deflate as much. Overall, a nice recipe just needing some minor adjustments.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
