An apple turnover is a flaky, sweet pastry filled with spiced apples, typically made by folding a square of puff pastry over a fruit filling and baking or frying it until golden. It's a popular dessert or snack found in many Western cuisines, especially in American and European bakeries.
Apple turnovers are high in carbohydrates and fat due to the pastry and sugar content, with minimal protein. A typical serving provides around 250-350 calories, along with some fiber from the apples.
The turnover's design, with its folded pastry, is a simple yet ingenious way to encase fillings, making it a portable and versatile treat that has evolved into countless regional variations worldwide.
