Apple Turnover Recipe
A Heritage Recipe
Grandma had this delicious apple turnover recipe from the time of the Second World War in UK.
Her heritage turnover recipe fits the bill perfectly for our easy recipes and seventy years on, remains fresh and modern as easy dessert recipes.
A Heritage Recipe - Apple Turnover
Below is our family's heritage recipe for an easy apple turnover as well as my contemporary interpretation using readily available ingredients so that it is an easy modern-day recipe.
For example, Grandma's recipe calls for the use of cooking apples. There is no such thing in our local supermarket - they are all standardized these days. However the modern day equivalent is to use cans of pie apple.
Ingredients for a heritage apple turnover
- Equipment: Non Stick Cookie Sheets
- Rough Puff Pastry
- Cooking Apples
- Sugar
- Egg Wash
Spoon pie apple into the center. Sprinkle each with a teaspoon of sugar.
Turnover one corner of the triangle to the other corner, making a turnover.
Make 4 triangles from one sheet. Using fork tines, press the edges to make ridges on the edges and firmly seal the apple filling. Brush with egg wash then bake.
Here they are, each turnover is beautifully baked!
