Can I use store-bought puff pastry?

Absolutely! In fact, that's my secret weapon—frozen puff pastry works beautifully and saves so much time. Just make sure to thaw it according to package instructions before using. My grandma always said, "Work smarter, not harder!"

Can I freeze apple turnovers?

You bet! These freeze like a dream. After baking and cooling, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. They'll keep for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them frozen into a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes—they'll taste freshly baked!

Why did my filling leak out?

Ah, the great turnover tragedy! Usually this means either you overfilled them (stick to about 2 tablespoons per turnover) or didn't seal the edges well enough. Next time, really press that fork down firmly along the edges—it makes all the difference.

Can I make these ahead?

For sure! You can assemble them up to a day in advance and keep them refrigerated until baking time. Just brush with egg wash right before they go in the oven. The unbaked turnovers might get a tiny bit soggy, but they'll still taste delicious!
