Apple Turnover(Easy)
A delightful apple turnover using bread as a quick crust, filled with tender cinnamon-spiced apples, perfect for a simple, handheld dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the peeled, cored, and sliced apple with lemon juice, water, cinnamon, and Sugar Twin in a saucepan until the apple is tender.
- Allow the apple mixture to cool.
- Remove crusts from the bread slices and roll them very thin.
- Place half of the cooled apple mixture on each slice of bread and fold diagonally to form a turnover.
- Moisten the edges of the bread with water.
- Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
- Bake at 425°F until golden brown or at 350°F for a crispier texture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier texture, consider using puff pastry instead of bread. If you prefer a sweeter filling, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey. To prevent the bread from getting soggy, try to use fresh bread and avoid overfilling the turnovers. You can also sprinkle some additional cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert, or pair with a side of Laurie'S Salad for a fresh contrast. These turnovers can also be enjoyed with a drizzle of Blueberry Ice Cream Sauce for an extra touch of sweetness. They make a great snack or a light breakfast treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover apple turnovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to restore their crispiness. Microwaving is quicker, but it may result in a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen apples for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen apples, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture. This will help maintain the texture of the turnover and prevent it from becoming soggy.
What type of apple is best for turnovers?
For the best flavor and texture, use tart apples like Granny Smith or a mix of sweet and tart apples. This will balance the sweetness of the Sugar Twin and enhance the overall taste of the turnover.
Can I make these turnovers ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the apple filling in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble the turnovers just before baking for the best results. They can also be frozen before baking, then baked straight from the freezer.
