Apple Turnovers
Apple turnovers are a classic American dessert that have been enjoyed for generations. They typically consist of a flaky pastry crust, which is filled with sweet, cinnamon-spiced apples. The apples are usually diced or sliced, and are cooked down with sugar, butter, and cinnamon until they're soft and tender. Once the filling is prepared, it's spooned onto the pastry dough, which is then folded over and sealed, creating a small, triangular pie. There are many variations on the traditional apple turnover recipe. Some recipes call for a cream cheese pastry crust, while others use a more standard dough made with flour, butter, and water. Some versions of the recipe also include raisins or other fruit in addition to the apples, while others stick to the basics. No matter what recipe you choose, however, the end result is sure to be a sweet, comforting treat that's perfect for any occasion.Ingredients for Apple Turnovers
