An apple turnover is a type of pastry made by enclosing a filling of spiced, sweetened apples in a sheet of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry, which is then folded over to form a semi-circular or triangular shape. The edges are sealed, and the pastry is baked until golden and crisp. The filling typically consists of diced or sliced apples mixed with sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes other spices such as nutmeg. Apple turnovers are often glazed with sugar or egg wash before baking to create a glossy finish. They are commonly served as a dessert or snack and can be eaten warm or cold.
See turnover for the general pastry technique; for the French version of the pastry see chausson aux pommes.
