After having the most ridiculous Apple turnover the other day,, I made these. I like an apple in my turnover with apple in and not a little apple jam and air.

[@AZ-Sharon]

Oooh! That looks so yummy! Word of the day: "Gloopy"😎

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@davidmurphy816]

Hi Rik from a cold, wet & windy Scotland. These Apple turnovers look absolutely delicious, brimming with juicy fruit. Have a couple of Bramley Apples here that need using up & have just taken my pastry out to defrost, unfortunately I don’t have any eating apples to hand atm so am going to try using a couple of chopped up tinned pears, fingers crossed it works!🤞 As always thanks for sharing 🙏, & encouraging folks like myself who live alone to do some home cooking & baking. Take care 👨‍🍳🍏🥧

[@BackyardChef]

David, I have cooked like that may times and it works so well. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@DebbieBartlett-si1zz]

These look amazing 👏

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@janwong9437]

Does anyone remember jars of pack-a-pie apple filling from the 70s ? Awful 😬

[@BackyardChef]

I don't mate. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@henriettagoldsmith5056]

Awe,, My gentle giant..I have flaky pastry in the freezer... Just need the apples,, This will surely pick my husband up.. The trauma of his brother's sudden death has left us numb. Thankyou my friend for this beautiful apple turnover.😘

[@dd7521]

🙏😢

[@amandah4834]

So sorry for your loss 🥲

[@henriettagoldsmith5056]

[@vikkimikkola5957]

You make an excellent teacher- maybe you were one before- so supportive and 'make it your own'! One of my cooking/ baking instructors had your style..'don't worry the oven will beautify'!😊

[@lisapop5219]

For no waste, the cores and skin can be turned into apple scrap vinegar.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@wendyburston3132]

Yup! It is sooooo easy to do as well.

[@Curlyblonde]

Cook's Privilege to eat the malformed or burst pastries, cakes, cookies etc. Necessary to eat the incriminating evidence that some of our creations may not turn out as they are supposed so to maintain our reputations! I'll never eat the measley-filled, soggy, store-bought apple turnovers again! Your simple recipe gives me the confidence to make my own. Just lovely!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. I and my gut agree! Best, Rik

[@dfringer55]

Rik I absolutely cannot watch your channel on an empty stomach. Your recipes are mouthwatering.

[@BackyardChef]

Sorry! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@danepoling4503]

I love your style of cooking and teaching. No pretense just straight forward and it always looks amazing. I made your Colcannon and it turned wonderfully.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you very much! Lets keep it all simple. Best, Rik

[@lizhannah8412]

You've done it again! When I heard the crunch of the pastry, I thought "that's better than shop bought". I've never had that when buying from the baker's or the supermarket. As always, Rik, another Masterpiece. Thank you, so much.

[@BackyardChef]

Hi Liz, not really a masterpeice - shop bought party = easy and delicious! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@carollewis5931]

I have been threatening to make these for two weeks but I'm glad you're making them now because watching you mine will turn out better 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Go ahead make them! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@jennyt966]

Wow. You don't get that crunch, or enough filling in the shop bought apple turnovers. Delicious.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@terryt.1643]

My market stopped carrying blueberry turnovers, so I’ll try your apple recipe to learn the process and then experiment with blueberries. Also with mulberry harvest. 🤤

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@simonbaker5972]

Blimey! Proper apple turnovers, instead of the soggy ones that i get from the supermarket! One of these with a big dollop of clotted cream. Delicious !

[@BackyardChef]

Now you are talking! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@trishb5738]

I just got a load of bramley apples reduced so this is great idea for me. Thanks

[@BackyardChef]

Great idea. I buy reduced everyday. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Bevieevans8]

Yummy 😋 Deffo going to make this. May I ask where you got your gas stove from please. You’re right, I’ve been watching without subscribing, but I’ve rectified that and am now subscribed

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sub! amzn.to/3PWkbig there aare many I'm afraid you will have to see. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@kernow9324]

I cannot wait to make these. None of the bakeries in Penzance make apple turnovers. Tesco bakery does, but least said about that the better! Thanks.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@kirsiselei8703]

Oh my. I can allready c myself eating those with vanilla icecream😍😋. Thankyou so much for the recipe 💕👋🇫🇮

[@BackyardChef]

Oh yes! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@alanemery464]

That is delicious 😊

[@WolfmanWoody]

I remember apple pies at shool dinners. Apple core? It was full of those little hard bits surrounding the pips and kids called them toe-nails. Yeuk! Nice one though, Rik. Might have a go at these. We buy Lidl's and they're not bad.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@leighDrusllalyle2304]

Hi RIk, do you ever use potato starch instead of corn flour to thicken your sauces? I have both in my pantry and wonder which is better to use. I know wet potato starch is used in a lot of Korean dishes and can be used to make what I like to call “quarter back ears” chips and plain white potato chips, plus it makes a really crispy batter when mixed with flour (plus or minus the corn flour) in tempuras as well as other forms of batter

[@BackyardChef]

They both work the same to be honest. Cornflour is cheaper. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@grahamturner5963]

I sgree, Rik 👍 I like a filled turnover with texture. For variety, i sometimes add mincemeat to the apple Some of my neighbours like a light icing on top too

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Yes a good choice of filling, Graham. Best, Rik

[@amandah4834]

Oh wow they did look good Rik I like the idea of the mixed apples for texture and the cornflour slurry Is a gamechanger as sometimes I have drained my cooked apples when I could have used this method thank you 🍎🍏Amanda xx

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

Turnovers are so delicious! My favorite is cherry turnovers! But apple is yummy too.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@JaniceVineyard-kf6wm]

When my children were young we had cherry trees, nothing like fresh cherries.

[@janwong9437]

Champion those Rik 👍 whenever I have one I poke a hole in one corner with a teaspoon handle and then bung in some squirty cream , delicious 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Yes the other way is to split open and put the cream in. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@heatherphelps3799]

This looks so delicious! I have to make!! Thank you’

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@BigMama2022]

I think l can make these! My mamá will be so happy, thanks!😊

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@laureldehaan58]

THANK YOU! For using a toaster oven/air fryer! I know the temperature and time will be right! One question, which mode on your toaster oven did you use? Convection bake ot air fryer? ❤

[@BackyardChef]

Air fryer/toast. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@annereidy7981]

A great way to use up unappetising, slightly dozed apples rather than throwing them out. And the turnovers look delicious .

[@BackyardChef]

Always! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

Definitely making this, got some puff pastry in the fridge and I just made up a batch of English mixed spice …. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

Hi Rik….I’ve just finished making a batch of these delicious apple turnovers, geez I hadn’t had a decent one in years. I used 4 Granny Smith apples & 4 of the beautiful ruby red fleshed red love apples we have & what a gorgeous rose coloured mix it ended up making. Your channel has fast become a favourite & I sincerely thank you for all the effort you put into these fantastic recipes/videos.

[@BackyardChef]

Fantastic! Thank you. Best, Rik

Task for you make George's Blank chicken in puffpastry vonnas just south of Lyon, 3* M bet you can do it for less than $50 cost at the restaurant 380 Euros realy. Some fancy pastry work that I think you would not have a problem with Store bought fine they don't even serve the pastry.

We live in Adelaide, South Australia now but when we lived in Concorde, NSW we used to buy apple turnovers from an Italian Pasticceria and they used to cut them open and pipe fresh cream inside. My Husband loved them. I had forgotten about this until I watched your video. I will have to make some and surprise him. Thanks for the recipe. Your recipe is easy and they look delicious. Yum, yum. x

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@babawawa1953]

Wow! Those look fabulous. My mouth is watering I’ll behaving a go at these. I’m a little afraid of making my own pastry but this I can do. Thank you again for a wonderful recipe.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@suebryant1188]

I realize, across the pond, we call cornflour, corn starch. I almost used fine corn meal. 😅 I probably would have eaten them anyway. I’m okay with eating my mistakes. 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Oh wow! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@denisemarle4141]

Well, I have the pastry in the freezer and I have the apples, so I'll be making them for morning tea.. in about 5 hours time! Thanks Rik.. ❤🦘

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978]

An all time favourite classic, with a nice bit of double cream, looking forward to trying my allotment grown cooking apples later this year, not made flaky pastry in years BUT you have tempted me to make it from scratch again, I know, I must be mad lol Send in the men with white coats 😂

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

I’ve used canned apple pie filling which I chopped. To that I add fresh diced apples and some additional apple pie spice and sugar. I’ve cooked the fresh apples a bit before adding to the store bought filling. I haven’t used puff pastry for the turnovers. I use prepared pie crust. They can either be fried or baked. I bake. Fried is just too greasy for my liking. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@basingstokedave4292]

rik do you think a bit of msg would give it a whoop

[@BackyardChef]

The addition wouldn't do it any harm, Dave. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@dianew7058]

MSG doesn't really do anything for sweet items..just for savory

[@MaryKane-qv5vz]

Fascinating. Thank you Rick. I have all those ingredients, only have to defrost the pastry.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@DerrickWhittle-mm7jz]

Easy as pie. Said before taught how to make puffpastry in Highschool. Never again store bought is better.

[@BackyardChef]

Store bought every time. Thank you. Best, Rik
