A recipe from Janice’s Kitchen Corner – Apple Turnovers!

I usually make an apple pie when I have company but I decided this time to do something different. I have some turnover molds that work well. I also made a few different turnovers with some preserves I had – blueberry and strawberry rhubarb.

I made these for Valentine’s Day using my heart mold. I have three different size turnover molds, and also the heart and a star mold.

The apple came out better since it had more moisture than the preserves did after baking. These molds can be used to make empanadas with meat and cheese or whatever you want to include.

You can use packaged dough or make some yourself as I do.

Ingredients:

  1. Dough in store bought container or homemade dough
  2. 4-5 chopped apples
  3. 1/3 cup sugar
  4. 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  5. 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  6. 1/8 tsp ginger

Directions:

  1. Cook apples mixed with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
  2. Set apples aside to cool a little.
  3. Roll out dough into circles to fit molds
  4. Put tablespoon of apples on each round and fold in half
  5. Crimp edges to seal and make a small slit on top of turnover to prevent spillover.
  6. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until the crust is lightly browned.

Serve these warm with ice cream or cold. They are delicious. You can also substitute blueberries but cook them beforehand with sugar and a tsp of zest from a lemon. I hope you enjoy these.

Thank you for stopping by to read this post and for your continued support. Come back again soon.

Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!

  1. You realize, that if I was to making these at home, I would most likely eat nothing BUT until they were all gone. #YUMMY
