I love the smell of baked apples and spices this time of year. Making these turnovers was an excuse to fill the kitchen with nostalgic, seasonal smells. And to eat crispy, flaky turnovers.
This year, hand pies are all the rage and cake is a thing of the past. I couldn’t be happier about this as I am a fool for pie. Fruit and spices baked into crust- yes, please!
When brainstorming this recipe, I considered using premade pie crust, but opted to go with phyllo dough for more of a turnover, rather than a hand pie. The phyllo is light and flaky and not at all greasy, so you can eat these turnovers without all the mess. Another nice aspect of phyllo dough, is that it’s typically made with vegan ingredients which gives you the option of making these turnovers as a vegan dessert. Simply sub in vegan butter spread where butter is used.
