Apple pie turnovers are simple and easy. They can be done in a matter of a few minutes. I serve them up with some ice cream with a drizzle of syrup. Believe me, everybody will love them. They are great with a cup of coffee or tea.
There are a few adjustment to the recipe. For example, we use fresh apple, but you can use apple pie filling. We try to keep the recipe as simple as possible by just using cinnamon. Nutmeg can to used as well.
