20 Minutes Apple Turnovers

As per Wikipedia,A turnover is a type of pastry made by placing a filling on a piece of dough, folding the dough over, and sealing it. Turnovers can be sweet or savory and are often made as a sort of portable meal or dessert, similar to a sandwich. They can be eaten as a breakfast or a dessert.It is common for sweet turnovers to have a fruit filling and be made with a shortcrust pastry or puff pastry dough; savory turnovers generally contain meat and/or vegetables and can be made with any sort of dough, though a kneaded yeast dough seems to be the most common in Western cuisines. They are usually baked, but may be fried.

Today's post is 20 minutes Apple turnover, this flaky and buttery turnovers are simply made with a filling of chunky apple cooked with sugar along with lemon juice, cornstarch,vanilla, later baked in a puff pastry sheet. An easy turnover to make, they tastes absolutely delicious and flaky when they were warm, though we loved it at room temperature.
