apple turnovers

Folded fruit pockets

Apple turnovers are pastries made by folding dough around a spiced apple filling, creating a triangular or half-moon shape.

The outer shell is typically flaky puff pastry or pie crust, baked until golden.

They're served as breakfast items, desserts, or snacks, often warm and sometimes glazed: She grabbed an apple turnover from the bakery case.
