http://www.veganbaking.net/ 721-1028 http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/721-flaky-apple-turnovers I have never made dough like before so I am not sure how it compares. I followed the recipe exact, and left the dough in the fridge for a day after the first set of folds. I came back to roll out and fold over again, but the dough was too elastic and I really struggled. I had to use flour liberally so that the dough wouldn't stick to my rolling pin or the counter. I also didn't get the splitting, layered look after I baked the turnovers. I wonder what I did wrong, I will try again. However, I shared with about 7 different people and they all loved it (but they are all college students and college students tend to have lower standards- anything from scratch impresses them). Oh, I should also mention that I used a cherry filling instead (apple-picking trip canceled due to weather). keep the vegan baked goods recipes coming!! ]]> Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:57:57 -0400 721-875 http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/721-flaky-apple-turnovers i haven't had apple turnovers since i was a kid & these are even better than my memory of them. super delicious & not even that hard to make (although the puff pastry dough is time consuming - it's well worth it). in response to the other review - i used the recipe pretty much as is, although i reduced the sugar in the filling to 1 cup. (i will probably use honey and/or raisins next time). i grated 6 fuji apples & squeezed them almost dry & it was the perfect amount for 12 turnovers. i baked them at 375 & it took just about 35-40min. they were perfect! thanks so much! can't wait to try the vegan butter recipes! ]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:11:37 -0400 721-762 http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/721-flaky-apple-turnovers I am trying these for the first time (with store-bought dough). Because of a certain large-scale rescue of beagles from an animal research laboratory closing down in Spain, I was unable to bring baked goods to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. I really caught a load of guilt for the absence of apple pie. Tomorrow we are celebrating Hanukkah with the family, so to make up for it, I am bringing these apple turnovers. I adjusted the recipe a bit so it is closer to my traditional apple pie filling, using brown sugar, and much less of it, vs white. I've also added 3/4 tablespoon of cornstarch to the filling as well as some of your magic vegan butter. My advice on this recipe is drop the heat to 350 and see how it goes. I did 375 and when I rotated the sheet after 15 minutes, they were already looking close to done. I dropped the heat and baked another 5. They look great. I am curious about the actual measure of apple shreds this calls for, not just the number of apples. I used Fujis and they are small compared to the grocery store Granny Smiths. I still ended up with extra filling. ]]> Sat, 24 Dec 2011 06:31:13 -0500 721-574 http://www.veganbaking.net/pastries/721-flaky-apple-turnovers I tried these and thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Can't thank you enough! ]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:51:58 -0400
