I made these turnovers with a gluten-free flour blend, and they turned out great. They were just as delicious as the traditional version, and I'm so glad I can now enjoy these turnovers.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I made these turnovers without them. They were still very good, but I think they would have been even better with nuts.

These turnovers were a great way to use up some leftover fruit. I had a bunch of apples and pears that were about to go bad, so I decided to make these turnovers. They turned out great, and I'm so glad I didn't let the fruit go to waste.

The crust on these turnovers was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll try rolling it out thinner next time. Otherwise, they were very tasty.

These turnovers were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, they were very good.
