    Apple turnovers with puff pastry were the order of this morning. ( they look more golden brown than the photo allows) .

    Hubby ( with Angus') help removed three in short sequence from the cooling rack - as soon as his mouth could tolerate the heat of the filling. :rolleyes: I'll deliver some to the neighbour this afternoon for a treat.

    The remaining were sliced, seasoned and baked for the refridgerator. They will join their friends - oatmeal, pancakes and yogurt - over the next week.

    Salivating here at the thought of those turnovers. My hubby and I would be fighting over them.

    Oh those look tasty!

    May I ask, what is your puff pastry recipe?

    Also, do you know what is your variety of apples?

    Thank you Daniel. :)

    I tried a new puff pastry recipe this time. I'll attach the link. It had lots of "pro tips" which I found really helpful.

    I didn't use the food processor, but I did follow the hand mixing method using the paddle on my kitchenaid - my arthritic fingers like short cuts and I have less direct exposure to the wheat this way which helps my allergy. :) (I pulse with the paddle pretty much, and don't overmix - kind of like pie pastry - just enough to have lumps). I liked the idea of using a molded block of formed butter ( using an 8 x 8 pan as a mold). That part was convenient and kinda fun. :)

    I have to work on layers and thickness, but that will just take practice I think - and Hubby doesn't mind being the guinea pig.

    I grow three types of apples. Traditional crabapples, Norgold and a transparent that is bi-annual. These were made with the Norgolds. I seasoned and parbaked the apples so that they would be soft inside the turnover, because the cooking time is so hot and short.

    Thanks @Melody Mc. . I have quite a few apples in the fridge, and maybe more on the tree. My work is cut out for me!
