I’ve modified this recipe slightly for the turnovers by grating the butter while it’s still super-cold. Every time I make a pie, I think of Sherry. Then and there, she whipped out three simple ingredients, a pastry cutter, forever changing my life.
#HOMEMADE APPLE TURNOVERS HOW TO#
I still remember standing in her farmhouse kitchen, lamenting that I didn’t know how to make pie crust.
This recipe was given to me by my “other mother” - a dear friend in the Ozarks. No kneading here, folks! The resulting turnover crust is light and flaky, melts in your mouth, and holds together well, making these turnovers portable and easy to serve. And two, you have to be very gentle with the pie dough. The trick to this recipe is twofold: you grate the butter when it is cold- very cold. The title of this article should be “With the Right Pie Crust, You Can Rule the World.” Okay, not really, but I will say that it is possible to easily make a flaky, melt-in-your-mouth pie crust that is so similar to puff pastry your taste buds won’t know the difference! I’m here to tell you that I have the perfect simple solution for from-scratch apple turnovers that don’t require expensive or complex ingredients. It’s rather complex, and this mama of six needed a simpler option. The problem is that it is relatively expensive, and for a family of our size, I would need two or three boxes for us each to have a turnover! Admittedly, I haven’t perfected a homemade puff pastry dough. Now, you can purchase store-bought puff pastry dough in the freezer section of your local grocery store, and I have done that more than once. Traditionally, apple turnovers are made by folding a puff pastry dough over apple pie filling and drizzling it with icing.
But sometimes, we need something a little more portable, and that’s where apple turnovers come in.
There is nothing quite like a slice of hot, fresh apple pie after a hard day working on the ranch. Looking for a delicious treat that you can make from scratch and without puff pastry? This easy Homemade Apple Turnover recipe is a family favorite!
