My guy loves apple turnovers, which I've always bought rather than tried to make in the past. Over the last couple of years the quality of our local market's pastries has gone downhill while the prices rose dramatically, and frozen turnovers are not all that great. Eventually I just opted to get him pastries from Panera, which have also gotten expensive.
With the pandemic curtailing my shopping, I hunted around online for a recipe using puff pastry sheets, which I thought would be closest to what my guy likes, and tried this one. It also didn't require a lot of fancy ingredients. The only change I made was to make half the recipe, and skip the icing and the egg wash. I just put the turnovers together and sprinkled the tops with some crystallized sugar.
To my surprise these were a huge hit -- Kat and her dad ate all of them in one sitting, and asked me to make more. If that isn't a recommendation, I don't know what is. :)

Great minds! I just printed this one the other day, but haven't been to the grocery yet to get the granny smiths. I'll let you know if they're as much of a hit here. :)
Puff pastry saved me. I am rubbish at making light, flaky pie crusts. I sometimes make savory hand pies too with ground beef or pork.
