I have 2 cans of sliced Apple pie flavored apples. Can I use those instead of the fresh apples? I assume the cooking time will be much shorter, but will that affect the baking time of the puff pastry? Thank you for your advice. Mr husband will REALLY BE GREATFUL he has the never-ending sweet tooth!

I have been using this recipe for a while now and my husband and I just love them. I use splenda because my husband is diabetic.

I love this recipe! They're warm, light, and flaky which I think makes the perfect wintertime treat. You must try this easy apple turnover recipe!

I made these and was almost as good as my Mothers who made them from scratch. She mostly made apricot and chocolate

My hubby went crazy over these! I've used this apple recipe, and canned pie filling in every flavor they make, and they are all excellent. I did add a bit of brown sugar to the apple recipe. I have learned to dust the cutting board with a little confectioners sugar so that the dough doesn't stick to it when you are moving the turnovers to the baking pan. That works much better than waxed paper, parchment paper, or just the plain cutting board. Thanks Mr. Food for another awesome recipe!

Made a double batch (used the while package of pastry) and had dessert Saturday and an easy fast breakfast on Sunday. All 3 of us loved them!

I made these and they are great and so easy. Better double the recipe as they disappeared fast.
