Honey Apple Turnovers

Honey Apple Turnovers are easier than apple pie! You can make fun decorations with the extra scraps of dough. Your children will love to help make these. Ideal to keep kids occupied on rainy holidays. The pastry is lovely and crispy whilst the filling is sweet yet nutty. The fruit and walnuts blend into a divine filling that make this recipe such a success. Also these are superb both hot and cold. When I serve Honey Apple Turnovers as a dessert, I normally serve with thick homemade custard. It makes a perfect dessert. As a snack, I normally just serve them warm. So easy and fun making.
