Apple Turnovers Tips
How do you keep apple turnovers crispy?
Apple turnovers are best when enjoyed the day they’re baked, and even better fresh out of the oven with some
homemade vanilla ice cream. The longer they’re stored in refrigerator, the less crisp they’ll be.
How long do apple turnovers last?
Homemade apple turnovers last up to 24 hours at room temperature, or you can store them in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Wrapped tightly in foil and stored in a freezer-proof storage container, apple turnovers can last roughly 6 months in the freezer. Need a treat that lasts longer? Try one of these tasty
apple desserts instead.
