Tips:
- Use ripe, firm apples for the filling. This will ensure that they hold their shape and don't become mushy during baking.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Add some sugar, spices, and lemon juice to the apples. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use a good quality puff pastry dough. This will make the turnovers light and flaky.
- Roll out the dough thinly. This will help to ensure that the turnovers cook evenly.
- Brush the edges of the dough with water before sealing. This will help to create a good seal and prevent the turnovers from opening during baking.
- Bake the turnovers at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the turnovers from becoming dry.
