Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I like to make turnovers. I just made 4 apple turnovers and some cups filled with the filling and a topping using my apple cobbler topping. This will make a nice snack for after dinner.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Have a craving for apple pie but don't feel like making a whole pie? Give these turnovers a try. They taste just like mini apple pies. We opted for the puff pastry and loved how flaky they became. The outside gets a sugary crust and the inside is filled with juicy apples. You can enjoy this for dessert, a snack, or even as a breakfast treat.

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Thaw pie dough or puff pastry.
  • Adding a bit of flour to the cutting board.
    2
    Add 1 - 2 Tbsp of flour to your surface before you put the dough or puff pastry down so they do not stick.

    Peel and chop apples and add to bowl with lemon juice.
  • Walnuts, brown sugar, and spices added to the apples.

    Fill half of one pastry piece with a spoonful of apple mixture.
  • Folding the puff pastry to form a turnover.

    Rub inside edge with egg wash and seal. Repeat with remaining pastry pieces.
  • Slits cut into the turnovers.
    9
    Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lay turnovers on paper. Make 2 or 3 slits on each turnover, to let steam escape.
  • Sprinkling sugar over egg-washed turnovers.
    10
    Brush with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
  • Apple turnovers baking in the oven.
