How to Make Apple Turnovers

My favourite part about fall is using apples in a multitude of ways whether it be apple sauce, apple pies, apple butter — the list goes on and on. I decided to develop this apple turnover recipe so that I will be able whip up these desserts quickly and easily for the (Canadian) Thanksgiving party I am hosting this weekend.

If you plan on making these turnovers for a special occasion, you can even make them a couple of days in advance and freeze them. All you would have to do is bake them for a longer period of time when you wish to consume these flaky apple pastries.
