Apple turnovers have been around since the 17th century, although some people prefer hand pies because their style makes them portable. Bakers fill a smaller, flaky pie crust with fruit or meat and fold it in half. The pie is baked or fried as the edges are sealed. For added sweetness, sprinkle a dusting of sugar or icing on top.
Nearly every culture has a recipe for a change in its menu. Whether the recipe is savory or sweet, the ingredients readily available determined how the dough was made. However, most doughs can be converted to a sweet dish with the addition of fruit and sweet additives such as sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
Restaurants, bakeries, and even food trucks sell a variety of turnovers, and they make a delectable snack or meal. Apple turnovers come in a wide variety, as well! Apple cinnamon, apple cinnamon, or apple raisin are just a few of the combinations we've found on Caramel's. Be sure to check out your local stores or try your own recipe.
