Apple Turnover

I decided to bake another batch of Apple Turnover as the last batch that I baked, I wasn't too happy with the crust thickness as well as the fillings.

This time around, I added dark brown sugar and thickened the fillings with flour.  I make sure I rolled the dough as thinly as possible and since now the fillings is cooked, I have less problem filling it up.  

I shouldn’t have used dark brown sugar as light brown sugar will definitely make it more a presentable turnover.

Learning experience: The crust is very flaky and buttery and goes well with the apple fillings.

Serve 4 - 5
