Apple Turnovers

"I saw this being made on sunrise television programme and just had to try it. These are so easy, and make a very nice dessert. I used fresh apples and they turned out fantastic. I dusted the tops with some cing sugar and served with cream, the family loved them."

  1. I used my own apple filling recipe (for dietary needs) but I had a lot of problems with my puff pastry (just wouldn't seal properly and well stretchy and gluey) and I found 1 1/2 tablespoons of apple mixture was definately enough and in all the kerfuffle I forgot to put in the jam (which I was only going to do with half of them) but served with vanilla icecream and cream (cream for 3 not me) and a dusting of icing sugar and it was good eating. After I attempted to make the first 2 with troubles I put my apple mix in the fridge a totally cooled it to cold (the mix was still just warm with the first 2 which I think contributed to the problem - SO RECOMMEND A COLD APPLE MIX). Thank you Tisme, made for Make My Recipe - Edition 10.
     
  2. Made the recipe as posted including the strawberry jam. A great breakfast this morning. Have to try this again when apple picking is at its peak again next year !! Made for RecipeSwap# 46.
     
  3. Absolutely delicious!!! I made this to take to a family breakfast gathering and it was enjoyed by everyone. They all thought that I had bought it. I didn't make individual pastries, as I wanted to get more out of it. So I made it as a whole, and then sliced it to get more serving. I will defiantly make this again.

  4. Made these for breakfast for some company we had overnight &, fresh from the oven, they were a big hit! I used Granny Smiths which I'd also used for some homemade applesauce! Especially enjoyed the inclusion of the strawberry jam ~ Very, very nice! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Make My Recipe]
