Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even tastier apple turnover, you can add a small touch of vanilla to the applesauce to enhance the flavors! 🌟

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Works very well, for up to 3 months. Freeze raw (without egg wash) or baked. Wrap individually in plastic wrap, then in a freezer bag.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keep 2-3 days max in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Can be prepared and baked the day before. Keep 2-3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven or air fryer at 160°C for 5-10 minutes to restore the crispness. Microwave not recommended (softens the pastry).

Variations

Add raisins or a few walnuts to the filling.
Replace the cinnamon with vanilla.
Dust with powdered sugar when serving.

Mistakes to avoid

Filling with warm applesauce: let it cool before spooning it onto the pastry.
Sealing the edges poorly: press with a fork so the filling stays inside.
Skipping the egg wash: brush with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
