Apple turnovers

Best thing I’ve baked according to my teen!

Unbeknownst to me, apple turnovers are his first choice from the bakery at the supermarket when he and his friends drop in

I gave him the first to test and he said the filling was fantastic, way better than the commercial one

Making these with pre-made pastry would be super simple
And it’s a great way to get more fruit eaten

Also, a cool activity for children
