Apple Turnovers Ingredients
Apples: Peel, core, and chop one pound of Gala apples. Raisins: I used golden raisins, which are a little sweeter and moister than regular raisins. Cinnamon for a warm fall flavor Salt: I like Diamond Crystal kosher salt. If you use table salt, use 1/8 of a teaspoon. Sweetener: Use two tablespoons of brown sugar, or if you want to reduce the added sugar, try brown monk fruit. Cornstarch thickens the apple mixture to prevent the turnovers from getting soggy. Phyllo Dough: Thaw eight sheets of phyllo dough. Olive Oil Spray moistens the phyllo dough and helps the turnovers turn golden when baked. Powdered Sugar to sprinkle on the pastries before serving
How to Make Apple Turnovers
Variations
Apples: Swap Galas with Honeycrisp apples. Raisins: Substitute regular brown raisins with golden ones. Reduced Sugar: If you are watching added sugar, omit the powdered sugar. Double or triple the apple turnover recipe if you’re serving these at a party.
Storage
Store apple turnovers at room temperature for one day or in the refrigerator for 5 days. Let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container to avoid getting soggy.
Freezer
You can also freeze apple turnovers for up to three months. To reheat, thaw them in the fridge and warm them in the microwave or toaster oven. If you don’t have time to thaw the pastries, heat them up from frozen until heated through.
