For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Julie or Jules of Someone’s in the Kitchen picked Flaky Apple Turnovers on page 316 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
Ah, my life filled with procrastination knows no bounds. I started way late on Monday night, baked them this morning, and came home from work to post it! Each time the schedule of recipes comes out on the Tuesdays with Dorie website, I plan to make everything early. Yeah. Maybe next time! :)
But I was also super duper tired, and completely misread the part about the size of the circle. It is about 4 inches and I used a small biscuit cutter instead! Oops. Therefore, I couldn't fold over my turnover to save my life. Unless I wanted to have one piece of apple in each one...which would turn these into just half moons of pie dough. So, at 4:30 this morning, I made the executive decision to put a circle of dough on top!
I used Gala apples and skipped adding butter to the apples...I figure there was enough in the dough.
I didn't eat them, but the dough was quite flaky. I put sanding sugar on top of an egg wash.

I love your turnovers, and I'm quite impressed that you were able to make such a decision at 4:30 am!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative save! I would not have been so resourceful at that hour. I think you might have even improved on the original concept! They look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the circles and I can't believe you got up at 4:30 in the morning to make them! That is dedication. If I don't have twd done before tues, I just don't do it, so you have got me beat!
ReplyDeleteThey look perfect and I am sure whoever got to eat them ended up pretty happy.
Well, your mistake turned out to be a fortuitous one! These look beautiful! Great job as usual :).
ReplyDeleteThat looks so amazing! I'm impressed that you could do anything other than sleep at 4:30 in the morning. Thanks for baking with me!
ReplyDeleteAww they look like little pods full of apple goodness....hooray for desserts that scream Fall:)
ReplyDeleteYour turnovers look amazing!! Seriously, they are among the flakiest and best looking I have seen all day!!! can't believe you finished these at 4:30 in the morning -- you definitely win an award for dedication!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think they look super cute as round turnovers. Adorable and tasty, I'm sure! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! LOVE the round turnovers. Way to stick with the program and get it down.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing--say I'm going to get the recipes done early and am usually scrambling Monday to get to it! Sigh.
Great job!
Your photos are drool-worthy as always Mary! Love your cute little turnovers :) I waited until the last minute to make these too but such is the story of my life!
ReplyDeleteNo one could blame you for misreading anything at 4:30am! But I have to say they turned out really cute... like little pockets of apple hehe
ReplyDeleteYou could have easily lied and I wouldn't have known.... what a great way to turn these "turnovers" around! Love the nice sanding sugar texture! 4:30? Course, here it is almost 1:30am and I'm just finishing baking! Nicely done this week!
ReplyDeleteSo flaky! So cute! They look like little flying saucers. Many people had issues with the shape. Me, I took the easy (no rerolling) route and cut squares.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are terrific! Creativity knows no bounds....particularly at 430am! They look fabulous and VERY flaky!
ReplyDeleteI <3 sanding sugar, it's just so crunchy and pretty. I'm so glad you managed to eke these out, because they're absolutely gorgeous! Please tell me you ended up at least trying one?
ReplyDeleteOh, but those look like a better idea anyway. Folding them in half just doesn't give enough apples, even with bigger circles.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the saying "necessity is the mother of invention"? I think that's it.
I love your non-turned-over apple turnovers :)
Executive decision...I like it! We are all CEOs of our kitchens, I guess. I also used a 4" cutter and had trouble getting much fruit in. But your pastries look incredibly flaky and delicious - nice job!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the way your turnovers turned out! They are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing - more like apple pockets. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the little circles of dough and they are so flaky!!! Great job...those would have disappeared quickly around here.
ReplyDeleteyou didn't eat them? how could you resist?? :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute and delicious I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteso cute...like little flying saucers! too bad you couldn't eat any--they are super flaky!
ReplyDeleteDon't be hard on yourself, these look absolutely gorgeous! (4.30 in the morning????)
ReplyDeleteYeah - I must have tired too, because I missed the part about adding butter to the filling!
ReplyDeleteNot that it mattered in the end, because I used chocolate!
these are so adorable!!!
ReplyDeletethese look delicious! wow baking at n ight is not the best for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you stayed up to make them! They're darling though!
ReplyDeleteThose look INCREDIBLE. I love the mound of filling and they are soooo flaky. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are baking at 4:30am.....this TWD thing is so addictive :)...you have such lucky coworkers.
ReplyDeleteThey look perfect! I've done that Monday night baking and it can be hard.
ReplyDeleteThe turnovers look so perfectly flaky!! Yum. I love the shape of them. Great mistake. ;)
ReplyDeletepie perfection! so flaky (the dough not you!)
ReplyDeleteYou are in too many clubs. What next? AUTO CLUB. CLUB SANDWICH. CLUBBER LANE.
ReplyDeleteI liked them in their circular shape!

Those are awesome looking flaky apple turnovers! When I first saw the pictures of the dough with the apple, then the folded over turnover I was amazed that you were able to foldover the filling so perfectly! Using 2 circles of dough - totally genius! Looks fabulous with the sanding sugar!
ReplyDeleteyou will get a lot of comments on this one as that photo is perfect! you did an awesome job on these. I can't believe you didn't even have one or a bite?
ReplyDeleteWow! These look absolutely delicious and also easy to make. You truly are a dedicated baker waking up so early.
ReplyDeleteApple turnovers are always a big hit in my house, I just always seem to screw them up when I try making them. My wife does it so much better. I think I'll try your recipe and cross my fingers I don't screw it up!
