This recipe will give you 8 servings, so you can have plenty of leftovers to enjoy later!
Fill The Apple Turnovers

A perfect hand held dessert exactly as they are. However, feel free to pair them with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to make them extra decadent. Enjoy!
💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes
- You can dice the apple pie filling into smaller chunks so that you can fit more filling in each turnover. Otherwise, you can only fit 2-3 apple pieces in each one (depending on size).
- When making the vanilla glaze, start with only 1½ tablespoons of milk so that you can easily adjust the consistency to your liking.
- A tasty optional glaze ingredient that you can add is a ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- To store: Your turnovers can keep at room temperature for a couple of days. If you happen to still have leftovers, place your apple turnovers into an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days (however, the fridge can make them soggy so I recommend keeping them at room temperature).
- To freeze: You can freeze filled, unbaked apple turnovers for up to one month. Let them thaw out overnight before baking.

To keep your turnovers from getting soggy, don't store them in the refrigerator. Wrap them up in some plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Just couldn’t get 3Tablespoons in each without it all leaking out. Just used my own judgement. Also used Apple Pie filling.

Perfect! Hubby loved them! I put egg wash on the edges when opened and after again, I put egg wash on the edges while in triangle shaped form! Baked for 20 minutes and turned out great! Will be making again! Thank you

Hello, I wanted to take a moment and thank you for sharing this recipe . It was so yummy. So simple even I could make them with the kids running after school before dinner. My friends all thought I was in the kitchen all night making theset. They were all gone by time I got done doing the cleanup part of things. Next time I'll be making a bigger batch!
