Commonly Asked Questions
How should I store the apple turnovers?
To keep your apple turnovers fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay good for about 2-3 days. If you need to store them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. Just make sure they are completely cooled before sealing them to avoid sogginess.
Can I freeze apple turnovers?
Yes, you can freeze apple turnovers! To do so, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat them, bake from frozen at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through.
How do I reheat leftover turnovers?
For the best results, reheat apple turnovers in the oven or air fryer to retain their crispiness. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for 10-15 minutes, or reheat in an air fryer at 350°F for about 5 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the pastry soggy.
How do I make the glaze thicker or thinner?
If you prefer a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar to the mixture. For a thinner glaze, gradually add more milk until you reach your desired consistency. Adjust to your taste and how you like your turnovers to look and taste!
What’s the best way to ensure the turnovers don’t leak during baking?
To prevent leakage, make sure to seal the edges of the turnovers thoroughly with a fork. Also, be careful not to overfill them. Leaving a small border around the edges and crimping them well will help keep the filling inside.
